OUR SERVICES
Commercial Estate Management
Turning property obligations into managed outcomes
Practical, commercially focused management of public-sector property portfolios. We help councils protect income, manage lease events, resolve occupational issues and make informed decisions about their commercial assets.
Commercial portfolios require active management. Lease expiries, rent review dates, arrears, vacant units and tenant requests can place significant demands on stretched in-house teams. LGPC provides additional capacity and specialist property expertise, from individual instructions to a coordinated programme of estate work.
How we can help
Lease renewals and re-gears: review occupational terms, market evidence, negotiation strategy and commercial objectives; engage with tenants and support legal completion.
Rent reviews: assess lease provisions and market evidence, advise on negotiation and pursue commercially appropriate settlements.
Landlord and tenant matters: assist with assignments, licences, alterations, break options, surrenders and other consent or lease-management matters, with legal advisers instructed where required.
Lettings and void management: review marketing and rental strategy, coordinate agents where appropriate and advise on terms for new occupiers.
Portfolio oversight: maintain lease-event schedules, risk registers, income opportunities and clear management reports.
Outsourced support: provide an agreed programme of additional professional capacity for estate teams.

What the council receives
Depending on the commission: an asset and lease-event schedule; individual recommendation reports; negotiation and transaction updates; agreed heads of terms; an issues and approvals log; and periodic reporting on progress, income and risk.
Flexible support to suit the commission
LGPC can assist with a single complex lease event, a defined backlog or an ongoing programme. We work alongside the council’s estates, legal, finance and service teams, with clear instructions and agreed authority limits. Legal advice, specialist valuation and other regulated professional services are obtained through appropriately qualified advisers where needed.
