Brian Lack & Co in conjunction with Clarke Hillyer offer a comprehensive Commercial Property service. Together we operate seven offices across London which provides an ideal catchment area for us to be able to cover London as a whole. Not only do we provide an agency service in sales, lettings and acquisitions, but also a full range of management and professional services in the residential and commercial sectors. Clarke Hillyer were founded in 1885 and have bought a foundation of professionalism and integrity, as well as a wealth of knowledge and market awareness to the industry. Today Clarke Hillyer are a prominent London agent and benefit from long standing staff members. Testament to this is that some of our clients own properties that we have had under our management since they were new builds in Victorian times. These properties have since been passed through generation to generation and each of these generations have retained our services. As proud of our heritage as we are, we are continually evolving and taking the next steps in maintaining ourselves as the pre-eminent force in our sectors.
Our complete property management service covers everything from individual units to mixed use portfolios, new developments and full estates. We also have a fine professional department made up of both qualified and qualifying Chartered Surveyors, who not only support our property management department but also carry out a wide range of services from mortgage valuations to rent reviews and lease renewals, as well as party wall awards and leasehold enfranchisement. We provide a comprehensive and professional service to clients with consistently high standards of working practice and act for private property owners, public institutions, local authorities and registered social landlords.

Commercial:
Lease Plans: We are able to arrange the preparation of title and lease plans which are Land Registry compliant to meet your needs.
Schedules of Condition: A schedule of condition is commissioned before the signing of a lease in order to determine the condition of the building so that existing defects and their repair costs are identified prior to any commitment being made. This can also be used to limit your liabilities under a lease.
Schedules of Dilapidations: A dilapidations claim is an allegation of breach of contract and as such is actionable in law. We can advise both freeholders and leaseholders to ensure a reasonable settlement.
Rent Review & Lease Renewals: Depending upon the length of the term, modern commercial property leases generally contain provisions for the rent to be reviewed to open market every three to five years. If a rent review date is approaching, an early assessment of your situation is vital to ensure that the best possible negotiating strategy is prepared. A similar approach is also necessary at the lease renewal stage.
