Why iTAS?

The benefit of employing iTAS is that we are free to maximize your leverage when you are considering whether to surrender your break option, renew your lease or relocate to another property. We do not act for Landlords or Developers unlike traditional firms so we do not have any conflicts of interest. We ensure that you have access to every available property and the best possible financial terms.

Something else that makes us different is that our fees are based on the savings we generate. This ensures that our interests are aligned to yours. This ‘no win, no fee’ approach differentiates us from most other service providers who tend to charge a percentage of the headline rent that is agreed with the Landlord.

Our mission is simple: we help companies maximise profits by minimising property costs.

We do this in two ways.

First, we unlock the inherent value of your company’s lease covenant. This might involve securing a rent free period from the Landlord in exchange for renewing your lease. Alternatively, it might involve negotiating an upfront capital payment to fund a relocation to a new building. Whichever option you choose, we will secure you the most competitive terms that are available in the marketplace.

Second, our team of experts minimises your property costs. We start by benchmarking your rent, rates and service charges against comparable buildings and take action wherever we believe savings can be achieved. This could involve a variety of initiatives including appealing your Business Rates or challenging your Service Charges. If appropriate, we will also review your space utilisation to identify any potential surplus space or alternative workstyles that could that could help drive down your property costs. We will also examine less obvious areas including the structure and drafting of your lease as these too can affect your occupation costs. 

Our methods are proven and can have an immediate impact on the bottom line.
