core services
Type of service offered
Property search agents working exclusively for charities.
Record of achievement
In eight years we have taken on 25 office relocations for different charities, saving them over £1,000,000. Unlike most surveyors or estate agents, we work exclusively for charities needing new offices, and we are paid only if we save the charity money. So we search harder to find the right property, and negotiate harder with landlords and other agents to get it at the right price. Our clients saved an average of 35% of their budgets. We have never failed to match the brief and beat the budget.
In 2005 we found premises for four different charities, negotiating deals that saved them nearly £250,000. Whenever engaged alongside other property search agents or surveyors, we always unearth the more suitable premises on better terms. We've also arranged refurbishments and redecoration, sourced office furniture, IT and phone systems as part of the service. Using the Charity Supply Company saves charities time and money.
