Acquisition of Industrial Building

“Steven, we are deeply indebted to you for all your assistance in acquiring our new premises. The timescale was incredibly tight and without your efforts we would have had to close the business down. The end result was remarkable – a much better building 30% larger at a significantly lower cost and with a very helpful rent free period.”

Rent Review, Retail Property

“I asked Jaggard Macland to assist me with a rent review to see if I was overpaying on the lease of my retail property. They came to the premises, measured up and provided advice on the correct level of rent. I really appreciated their professionalism and how helpful they were. I am currently looking to open up a new shop and plan to use Jaggard Macland services again. It is so valuable to my business to have some advice that will help me save money on the rental costs.”

Homebuyers and Snagging Survey

"We were very pleased with the service we received from Jaggard Macland, right from booking the survey date, taking advice from Phil on which survey to go for - being a new build house, we had never purchased a new build before - right through to receiving the survey report. Communication was great throughout the whole process, we recommend using them."

Snagging Survey on new build Arts & Crafts property in Gerrards Cross

“The snagging survey helped us to appreciate the property's overall standard of finish whilst also allowing the minor faults found to be rectified prior to moving in. It gave us great confidence that the house was perfectly ready when we moved in.”

Detailed Building Survey, 3 bedroom extended and altered 1950s semi detached

"The process of getting the survey was incredibly efficient - just 18 days from getting a quote to having the actual report in my inbox. The survey itself was thorough, well presented and the aftercare provided in being able to contact Philip directly to chat through concerns and queries was first class. The survey from Jaggard Macland ultimately provided invaluable confidence in our buying decision."

Commercial Property Search, Lease Negotiation and Acquisition

“Luke and Simon at Jaggard Macland sourced and negotiated an exceptional property required due to an essential relocation, meeting our requirements exactly and managing some difficult negotiations in these turbulent times. Tight time frames, very specific client requirements and a lack of commercial stock didn’t seem to phase them at all. A professional, diligent and competent team.”

"We really appreciated Simon’s pragmatic approach and ability to demystify technical issues. This helped us to move the project forward at pace."

Sale of Three Industrial Units in the heart of Amersham

"I just wanted to say a huge thank you for your help with selling our property and also with the previous management of the units. I know that it must have been as challenging for you as it has been for us. I appreciate your efforts and forbearance very much."

Commercial Property: Options Appraisal and Complex Lease Negotiations

"We initially instructed Steve to advise us of our options with our under-utilised office property, but thanks to his initiative and contacts, Steve found us the perfect solution for us and our property.
Throughout the process, Steve was an invaluable and trusted advisor to us during a complete office refurbishment and complex lease negotiation, and his advice and expertise has been instrumental: without Steve, we would not have been able to complete the task on time and as effectively.

The office refurbishment was extensive and needed to be completed within budget and on-time. We had limited large-scale property refurbishment experience (especially on the scale to be undertaken) and Steve went above and beyond in his efforts making sure our objectives were met. In addition, Steve worked tirelessly to help seal a convoluted and time-bound agreement to lease and lease deal which deal needed to be completed quickly.

All of the refurbishment work was completed to a high standard and the lease was concluded.

I would have no hesitation in recommending Steve - his service is always excellent, professional and thorough.
