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.

Targeted commercial agency support without the overhead of a traditional full-service model

Not every landlord or asset owner needs a conventional estate agency instruction. SPG’s Sales & Lettings service is designed to bring commercial property to market quickly, cost-effectively and with maximum visibility—without unnecessary layers or cost.

We provide national exposure across leading platforms such as Rightmove and Zoopla, supported by AI-driven lead routing so enquiries reach the right decision-makers without delay. From surplus offices and coworking space to event venues, meanwhile uses and development opportunities, our flexible approach gives you the marketing reach and transactional expertise you need, when you need it.

Our experience spans private portfolios and complex public sector estates, including assets held for operational use, regeneration or disposal—bringing assurance, structure and pace to every instruction.
