Property search and acquisition service – read more…
If you are thinking about relocating or acquiring additional premises then please come and talk to us. Much of our work involves using our in depth market knowledge and experience to help companies find the right property on the right terms.
The whole process of searching for a property and negotiating the price/terms ties up senior people within an organisation and it is unlikely that the organisation will agree the most competitive terms available in the market but as important is identifying the potential liabilities that may not appear obvious and that might emerge later in the life of a lease.
DB Real Estate can handle the whole process, we can trawl the market to find the right properties meeting your criteria, negotiate the most advantageous terms to suit your business, restrict costs and outgoings in the future, organise surveys and generally look after you from start to finish.

Lease restructuring – read more…
A lease end or a break clause is an opportunity to renegotiate and/or restructure a lease on a commercial property, whether you are a tenant or a landlord.
If you are approaching a lease expiry or a break clause then come and speak to us but do allow plenty of time. In this day and age many leases are outside of the landlord and tenant act and so a tenant has little legal protection at the end of a lease.
We use our in depth market knowledge and experience to help tenants and landlords to review their requirements and establish whether:
a) a particular property still meets the requirements of the tenant, and
b) explore what lease terms would best suit the tenant and the landlord moving forward
At DB Real Estate we think outside the box, there are often solutions to tenants or landlords requirements that may not seem initially obvious. If no solution can be found then DB Real Estate are ideally placed to provide advice on alternative properties/strategies.

EPCs, air-conditioning inspections and asbestos surveys – read more…
The Energy Performance of Buildings directive (EPBD) requires EU member states to ensure that:
a) Energy Performance Certificates (EPC’s) are made available to prospective purchasers or tenants of commercial buildings over 50 sq m, when they are brought to the market for sale or to rent
b) All property owners with buildings incorporating air-conditioning systems (regardless of whether a property is on the market) with an effective rated output of more than 12kW arrange for the systems to be regularly inspected by an Energy Assessor (the inspections must be a maximum of five years apart) and a report prepared that meets the requirements of Regulation 22 of the EPBD
The provision of both of these reports is now a statutory requirement.
The Control of Asbestos at Work Regulations 2002 created a legal duty to manage asbestos in non-domestic premises. The person responsible is a duty holder (usually a property owner, tenant or managing agent), if you are a duty holder, you must:
a) Find our whether your building contains asbestos and what condition it is in
b) Assess the risk, eg, if it is likely to release fibres
c) Make a plan to manage that risk, ie, prepare an Asbestos Register containing information as to the whereabouts and possible location of asbestos
DB Real Estate has direct links with consultant energy assessors and Asbestos consultants and we can obtain competitive quotes for the production of these reports from a number of well respected assessors and consultants, manage the quotes and the reporting procedure and generally provide as much support and assistance as might be required.
