Agency & Lease Management

Management of freeholds or leaseholds to support the acquisition, occupation or disposal of the government estate, providing technical due diligence where required.

Not every landlord needs a full-service estate agency. SPG’s Sales & Lettings service is designed to bring properties to market quickly, cost-effectively, and with maximum visibility.

We specialise in delivering national exposure on platforms like Rightmove and Zoopla, with AI-driven lead routing to ensure enquiries reach you fast. Whether you’re letting surplus office space, coworking desks, or event venues, our flexible approach gives you the marketing power you need—without unnecessary overhead.
