Testimonials

“We were very grateful for the support and advice of Hanway Commercial in locating and negotiating the terms on our new Mayfair location plus their project management service for the comprehensive fit out. We are now working from the new office and extremely happy with our new working environment which will help assist Tupras in their future growth plans.
Ali Sarper Managing Director, Tupras Oil Trading UK
I have found Hanway Commercial to be very knowledgeable and professional. I met Paul Wise of Hanway Commercial on the FD Forum in 2015 and they now manage and deal with all our real estate matters across the UK. Their advice has helped us in negotiations and saved us money. I have found Hanway Commercial to be very responsive and when something is needed quickly they move fast to meet the deadline.

Paul Wise of Hanway Commercial provides property and estate advice across our UK and International portfolio for the last 5 years on a consultancy basis for Britvic PLC on a number of wide ranging issues and we have found Hanway’s support and advice extremely useful and commercially astute.

Michael LeeProperty Manager, Beko
We used their acquisition service to locate and purchase the new HQ in Watford when I was the Finance Director; we were very happy with the end results. Hanway Commercial continue to provide business rates and rent review advice to Beko. I am now CFO at Tüpraş Oil and Hanway recently acquired our new head office in London in a very tight timescale and they were able to match our very specific brief. We would not hesitate to recommend their property services.

Initially instructed to deal with Business Rates mitigation across a diverse property portfolio, Hanway Commercial have become so invaluable that they now provide comprehensive property advice including Acquisitions, Rent Reviews, Lease Renewals and Development/Investment Advice. We are impressed by their expertise, depth and speed of service and can wholeheartedly recommend their services.

Mark Short has looked after the property side of my car parking business for the past 30 years. A great part of my success has been thanks to his skills in negotiating our lease renewals and reviews, as well as our business rates appeals.
