Asset Management

LeighFisher assists government organizations and private businesses in assessing and valuing their property portfolios and implementing asset rationalization and efficiency strategies to support their developing service needs. As organizations combine their services to deliver efficiencies, they may require less property. Following the public sector expansion that has taken place in many advanced economies over the past decade, it is not unusual for governments to manage surplus property assets. Following mergers or acquisitions, private sector organizations need to rationalize their portfolios. The opportunity for efficiencies exists not only in the release of capital assets, but also in reduced operational costs.

We specialize in assessing asset management options to maximize value for money. Property development plans frequently do not come to fruition for many years, yet organizations could face major short-term funding shortages. It is not prudent to dispose of properties in a depressed property market, nor is it straightforward to identify and optimize the value of property taking into account differing service needs. Charting a course through the multitude of potential asset based delivery vehicles and options may present a challenge. Property, as a major asset class, and any consideration of its disposal or reconfiguration, can engender political or corporate sensitivities that add to the complexity of the transaction.

LeighFisher advises clients to align their service needs with a property portfolio that addresses current and changing demands. We provide value to our clients through thorough analyses of service demand patterns and customer requirements, combined with rigorous appraisal, valuation and rationalization techniques, providing a strong foundation for success. What differentiates LeighFisher is our ability to assist clients in implementing sustainable approaches, while simultaneously winning support for the initiatives within the client organization and staff base.
