Corporate Real Estate for Occupiers
Corporate real estate is a specialist skill set for the businesses that occupy commercial premises, not the people who own them. Ask-re matches that skill set to your situation and builds a solution around what your business actually needs, limited only by your tenure and the market.
Trusted by occupiers across the UK for over two decades.
Your premises are rarely just a cost line. Handled well they support how you operate, what you spend and how quickly you can change. We help occupiers make property decisions that serve the business rather than the building.
Built around your needs, not the landlord's
Corporate real estate services (CRES) exist to match property to the way a business actually works. We start from your operational and commercial objectives, then shape a bespoke solution within what your tenure and current market conditions allow. Because we act for occupiers only, the advice is driven purely by your interests, never balanced against an owner or investor sitting on the other side of the table.
Most valuable when things are changing
Our skills matter most during periods of change: downsizing or growing, disposing or acquiring, refinancing or releasing value tied up in your estate. Alongside the day-to-day, we advise on more specialist matters such as capital allowances, lease restructuring and corporate finance, either directly or with trusted partners, so a single relationship can cover the whole picture as your needs evolve.
Most property advice is written for the people who own the building. We only ever work for the people who use it, so the answer is always the one that suits your business.
Why you need this service
Only on your side
We act for occupiers only, so our advice is never compromised by also working for owners, investors or developers.
Built around the business
We start from how your business operates and what it is trying to achieve, then shape the property solution to fit, not the other way round.
Right for periods of change
Growing, downsizing, acquiring or disposing: our skills are most valuable exactly when your property needs are shifting.
Specialist matters covered
Capital allowances, lease restructuring and corporate finance are handled directly or with partners, so nothing falls between advisers.
Is your property working for your business, or against it?
Is your property working for your business, or against it?
Premises should support how you operate, not drain time and money. We help occupiers make property decisions that serve the business first.
What set Ask-re apart was that they understood our business before they ever talked about property. Every recommendation was framed around what we were trying to achieve commercially, and because they only act for occupiers, we never once doubted whose side they were on. It made a genuine difference to how confidently we made decisions.
Finance Director, professional services firm
Having a single adviser coordinate the whole picture, rather than us stitching together separate firms, saved us time and money at every turn. They flagged issues we would never have spotted and turned our property from an awkward overhead into something that actually supports the way we work.
