LeighFisher works with government organizations to assess and value their property estates and to put in place asset rationalization and efficiency strategies that support their developing service needs. As organizations combine their services to deliver efficiencies, they need less property. Following the expansion of the public sector that has taken place in many advanced economies over the past 10 years, it is not unusual for governments to be managing surplus property assets. The opportunity for efficiencies lies not only in the release of capital values but in reduced operating costs.
We specialize in assessing asset management options, to maximize value for the public benefit. Property development plans frequently do not come to fruition for many years, yet government organizations face major short term funding shortages. It is not prudent to dispose of properties in a depressed property market, or straightforward to identify and optimize the value of property, taking into account differing service needs, or chart a course through the multitude of asset based delivery vehicles and options that exist.
LeighFisher specializes in advising government clients on how to align their service needs with a property portfolio which addresses current and changing demands. Our clients tell us that our ability to analyze service demand patterns and understand customer requirements, combined with rigorous property appraisal, valuation and rationalization techniques provide a strong foundation for success. But what differentiates us is our ability to work with our clients to not only devise but also implement sustainable approaches and win support for these within their organizations and staff base.
