Promoting and enhancing best practice and technical expertise

Understanding Commercial Property Management

The course is designed to ‘walk through’ a typical commercial lease – explaining the terminology, purpose and implications of each clause and will demystify jargon. Ideal for administrators who have not been trained in the nuances of property - administrators, secretaries, accounts personnel, facilities managers, newly qualified and APC candidates.

CPT would like to thank the above for hosting these events..

Professional staff have been under increasing demands for their time, to make savings and service more clients. One attractive option is to delegate more of the routine management tasks to support and junior staff. In order to do this successfully, it is vital that technical and support staff have a sound understanding of commercial property leases, the basics of property law and the procedures that must be followed in order for such delegation to be successful.

This course will be of particular benefit to property administrators, secretaries, accounts personnel, facilities managers, graduate surveyors on APC, and all staff who need an understanding of commercial property matters.

What our delegates from London on the 16th July 2015 said:

"Practical information, easy to understand"

"Good content, well presented and informative"

"Clear and concise - I learnt a lot"
