Asset Rationalization
Real estate analysis to support decisions about property holdings.
Who we work with
Public bodies, institutions and other property-owning organizations need real estate analysis when deciding which assets to retain, adapt, combine or dispose of. The work connects property evidence to the organization’s stated objectives.
When you need us
Organizations may need to determine which assets to retain, adapt, redevelop or sell as their requirements change.
What we do
Assess value and alternative use opportunities
Compare real estate options against the assignment’s objectives
What you receive
The advice gives decision-makers a supported basis for considering their property holdings and prioritizing further work.
What we need to begin
Provide the asset list, current uses, occupancy information, available plans and the decision criteria. Identify operational requirements, restrictions, previous studies and the options already under consideration.

Questions & answers
Can the review cover a group of properties?
Yes. We first agree the level of analysis for each asset and the criteria for comparing them. A high-level review and a full appraisal of each property are different scopes.
How are operational requirements considered?
The client identifies the accommodation or service needs the real estate must support. We consider property options against those requirements and flag assumptions that need operational or technical input.
Does a potential alternative use mean the property should be sold?
No. Value and development potential are inputs to the decision. Operational needs, timing, constraints and organizational priorities also need to be considered.
