Two of the Thames Valley’s best known commercial property agents Haslams Surveyors LLP and Sharps Commercial are to merge from 1 March 2023.
The strategic merger will enable the two Reading-based companies to consolidate market share, extend resources and widen market intelligence. Trading as Haslams Surveyors LLP, the move will deliver both companies an even stronger hold on the sale, letting and development of commercial property across Berkshire, Hampshire, and Oxfordshire.
Neil Seager, Managing Partner at Haslams Surveyors LLP said: “We have long recognised a synergy of vision and quality with Sharps Commercial. In joining forces, we can better ensure all our clients gain the advantage of our personal, focused and forward thinking approach across an even wider spectrum of property services.”
Both Haslams Surveyors LLP and Sharps Commercial are among southern England’s largest independent commercial property agents and chartered surveyors, consistently ranked in the Estates Gazette and CoStar Awards top performing firms.
Alec White, Director, Sharps Commercial, who becomes Haslams Surveyors’ equity partner said: “With the combined breadth of knowledge and experience that this merger presents, our two firms are in an unrivalled position to best serve the needs of occupiers, landlords, investors and developers in their commercial property acquisitions and disposal projects across the Thames Valley. With unparalleled access to occupier requirements throughout the region, we will be ideally placed to monitor rental and investment values in key Thames Valley centres and the wider south-east, matching clients’ properties to market demand.”
Following the merger, Haslams Surveyors LLP will boast an enhanced commercial property portfolio spread throughout the Thames Valley across Berkshire, Hampshire and Oxfordshire with offices, industrial and commercial properties in areas of Reading, Bracknell, Basingstoke, Maidenhead, Slough, High Wycombe, Wokingham, and Newbury.
A strengthened range of property consultancy services will include leasing advice, property valuations, rent reviews, lease renewals, building surveys, development opportunities and land sales.
