case study

CLIENT

The Takeover Panel, an independent body which supervises and regulates takeovers and mergers in the UK.

BRIEF

Our client's instruction was to relocate a contemporary office in the City of London as close to a lease expiry as possible:

• Located within 0.5M of the Bank of England
• Minimise work practise disruption
• Fulfill the client's IT strategy
• Meet stringent security and financial requirements
• Minimise double overheads

CHALLENGES 

Compliance

Working with a regulatory body required stringent due diligence on all move costs including rents, service charges, SDLT, likely Business Rates liability once reassessed by the Valuation Office Agency and fit out the new office as well as dilapidations of the old office.

Cost management

Despite repeated challenges, the project was completed at a cost less than that of 10 years ago.

RESULT

Knowing the complexity of the brief - finding the right space, at the right price, in the right location and fitting it out to our specific requirements - we are delighted that not only wa sit fulfilled on time and on budget, but the team was professional and a joy to work with, throughout.
