Let's be nicer to cats, ok?

I know they can be a bit aloof, definitely not as warm as dogs, but surely we shouldn’t still be taunting them with all the different ways that we can skin them. Hardly going to encourage them to get closer to us, is it?

Moving on, and referring to the image below you, the obvious question when explaining to clients that we can unlock the leisure property market is ‘how?’

And, let’s just say, there are multiple methods to secure your next lease. 

Let’s break them down:

1️⃣ On the market: many landlords will prefer to market properties widely, to ensure that they are covering all bases, and perhaps to demonstrate to stakeholders that they have explored all options and secured market value. That’s not to say that anyone could discover it - these will likely still be marketed directly to specialist agents in the sector. 

2️⃣ Off market: new leases: Landlords, particularly those with larger volumes of assets, are increasingly looking to actively manage their estates in order to pre-empt potential issues with tenants, and to effectively bring a harmonious mix of cuisines and categories. Landlords might approach selected agents and operators, in a covert way, noting the sensitivity of transacting on a space that is currently tenanted. You definitely won’t see these on Rightmove. 

3️⃣ Off market acquisitions: The proactive agent’s secret weapon - using our know-how to network with existing leaseholders and bringing opportunities to our clients, either as a result of a specific brief to approach a property, or our own intuition that there may be a deal that we can put together. 

onepoint2 are active in all areas of this brief, so let’s discuss how we can use each approach to add value for your business. Also happy to discuss more feline-friendly metaphors for our strategies.
