Colliers CRE has specialist investment teams based in both Central London and the major regional centres throughout the UK. Our wide-ranging experience, coupled with detailed, research-backed market knowledge, allows us to provide high quality advice to clients across all business sectors, locations and property types. We can also call upon the other specialist departments within Colliers CRE to ensure that the highest level of expertise is applied to each project.

Our Services
Our services are used by a wide variety of pension funds, life insurers, property companies and an increasing array of private clients and include:

Property and Portfolio Sales
The sales team’s significant experience extends to all market sectors and covers a range of prime and secondary properties. Between them, the team has successfully completed more than £1 billion of portfolio sales in the last year, as well as individual sales ranging in size from £1 million to £100 million.

Particular expertise exists in raising capital for corporate occupiers, whether this is by sale and leaseback, or joint venture. In this capacity we have advised an extensive range of occupiers including Etam, Welcome Break, Boots, Cannons Leisure, London Inn Group, J. Sainsbury, WH Smith, Barclays Bank, Homebase and JD Weatherspoon.

Acquisition Advice
Colliers CRE has teams specialising in all of the main property sectors - high street shops, shopping centres, retail warehousing, health & fitness centres, leisure parks, cinemas, public houses, offices and industrial, as well as specialist locations like Central London. The team is also recognised as one of the most experienced advisers on short-leasehold properties.

Our service covers all stages of the acquisition process from the initial identification of opportunities through to completion of a purchase. Our advice is tailored to the individual requirements of our clients and to the size and scope of the project.

Investment Consultancy
Before undertaking any acquisition or sale, a thorough review of a property or portfolio is fundamental. Colliers CRE’s investment team will provide a detailed risk and return analysis, as well as identifying means by which value can be enhanced.

Our recognition of the differing needs and aspirations of each of our clients, coupled with our awareness of changing working practices and technology, allows us to provide a consistently high level of service to a diverse cross-section of both UK and international investors.

Development Funding
Our investment team works closely with all other departments within Colliers CRE, but our particular involvement in the development process enables us to provide a comprehensive development funding service. This encompasses the initial stages of site investigation, scheme design, project management and leasing strategy through to the most appropriate means of funding by way of interim finance or forward commitment. Our expertise in these areas, coupled with our extensive contacts with a wide-range of investors, helps to ensure that the most appropriate source and method of funding is identified and secured.
