All Events

A thorough review of what constitutes best practice, and what can go wrong.

The spotlight is on CPO negotiations and delivery. At its heart, what is the land to be acquired worth? If affected, what is the right amount of compensation to be paid?

The course will give an overview of the two procedures, and look at recurrent issues such as whether the hypothetical lease should include a break option, what should be the assumed length of term, and whether a ‘headline rent’ is effectively excluded. The course will survey the range of procedures, with particular reference to the increasingly well-used PACT scheme.

We have a panel of leading practitioners to answer questions from the audience on a number of topical rating issues. Paul Sanderson will be chairing the event.

The Practicalities of the Property Administrators Role. 

Commercial leases are the foundation and essence of property management. Anyone who works in this area needs to be familiar with what they say, what they mean, and how to work them. In this course we explain the key commercial terms of a commercial lease, and focus on the problems the attending delegates have encountered. It is ideal for administrators who have not been trained in the nuances of property - administrators, PA's, secretaries, accounts personnel, facilities managers, newly qualified and APC candidates.

Six problem areas in lease renewal practice

If you are involved in lease renewal negotiations, whether as surveyor, investor or occupier, you cannot afford to miss this course.

Best rating practice cannot be achieved without understanding case law. This event is far more than a case law review. A panel of leading lawyers and practitioners will review important and topical cases and explore the nuances of what is best and effective practice in the light of these decisions.

If you want an easy life, you don’t go into commercial property management! As well as managing relations between investor and occupier, good communication with other professionals and contractors is essential. An awareness of the wider commercial context is needed to complement up - to - date technical knowledge over a wide range of subjects, so that issues can be anticipated and prevented if at all possible. Whichever of your many hats you have on - manager, adviser or negotiator - you can’t do without the relevant current awareness you will get from this programme.
