Testimonials
Thank you very much for all your hard work on this one. It was a long project but great to get it across the line – and at a good level and a decent lease. Thanks for your perseverance. It is much appreciated.
BC have been absolute stars over the last 2 years that we have worked together. They worked tirelessly to find us a site and then were absolutely central to us purchasing the site we found. They are incredibly responsive to my many queries and guided us through a complicated purchase. Their judgement proved correct across the board in the negotiations, and they were able to explain and reassure me throughout the process. We have secured an incredible site thanks, in a large part, to Burston Cook’s efforts and expertise and we will be forever grateful!

It has been a delight to work with Burston Cook, who sold the virtual freehold lease on our complex commercial premises next to Finzels Reach to the ideal purchaser, enabling us to complete at a time when the uncertain state of the UK and Europe was making life a bit too interesting. Burston Cook poured effort and understanding into the whole process and lightened our load tremendously. They have been thoughtful and creative at every stage. We cannot thank Burston Cook enough for their insightful approach. Nothing was too much trouble. We were kept abreast of every development and followed her first-rate advice in every way.

We were delighted with the acquisition service that Burston Cook provided recently in helping with our city centre office acquisition.

Having recently completed our lease on our new medical premises, I would not hesitate to recommend Burston Cook. As an organisation with very specific “wants” due to the nature of our work, we had a long list of criteria which needed to be satisfied in order to meet our patients present and future needs. It was immediately clear Burston Cook understood our objectives precisely and worked hard to not only identify the right property but also to secure the best possible lease terms for our organisation. Thank you!

We were recommended to use Burston Cook’s services after our landlord started a rent review on our main property in Bristol. The landlord had proposed a punitive backdated increase. With Burston Cook’s assistance, the rent review was not backdated, and the increase was a more modest one. Burston Cook kept us updated regularly and were very transparent and professional throughout.

"Burston Cook has always provided excellent service and my experience has always been a positive one. I've dealt with them on several occasions over the the last twenty years. They have always been friendly, professional and most of all efficient. They are to my mind market leaders in the Bristol area and I would highly recommend Burston Cook and will use their services in the future if I return to the commercial property market.

Many thanks to BC in these very trying covid times - Paul Crowdy- Accountant
“I first came across Burston Cook after a glowing recommendation from my relationship advisor at RBS. BC are not like any property agent I have ever come across before – in a very positive way they really listen to what you are looking for and take the time to advise taking in every aspect of the search, they go above and beyond to help navigate you through the sometimes complicated landscape of commercial properties. When I first used Burston Cook I had no idea of what I was doing re a commercial lease, they were always happy to help and actually the first property they showed us was the right one – they really understood what we were looking for.
Burston Cook are true professionals and they delivered every time. I completely trusted their advice, opinion and judgements, something which seems so rare in the world of property sales and leases. I would without hesitation recommend Burston Cook as the first port of call if you are a business and need to move premises in Bristol and the surrounds. You wont be disappointed.
Thank you so much for all you’ve done for us - I confess to being sceptical at being able to achieve this, yet we achieved beyond our expectations which is entirely down to you! Private client.

“ Burston Cook were our partners enabling Mullers to return to its original site on Ashley Down both securing the opportunity and negotiating for us. People often overuse the word “partners”, but that is what Burston Cook were both in following up on our ambition and seeing it through.

We appreciated greatly their pivotal role in a successful project” - Tony Davies on behalf of the Trustees of the George Muller Charitable Trust.

Now that the sale process has been completed, may we say that we found your company’s approach very personable, but professional. It was efficient, but very courteous.

I would like to thank Burston Cook for their continuing help and advice. I have now used them for a considerable number of years and have always found their advice useful and informative, it is always given in a friendly helpful manner. Most important the results are also good. Many thanks Private client.
We were recommended to use BC through a well respected contact at a bank. I, like many, have probably not found many estate agents to be much good, however, it was evident from my first contact they knew the market inside out. You cannot walk around Bristol without seeing the Burston Cook board everywhere – this is for a reason. Despite the real lack of properties in the market, they understood what we wanted and through expert negotiation skills ensured we secured our offices. I would without doubt recommend BC. Big thank you
Steve and I want to thank you so much for your input: we couldn't have done it without you, it was very helpful indeed!
S White - Director -
We have had Burston Cook acting for us for many years and find them to be very professional.
Their communication is brilliant and we would recommend them to anyone to use for searches for professional property - M Coyne esq CEO Coyne Group
We needed to achieve a complicated office development and relocation project for 70 staff, over a 3 year period.
Burston Cook listened closely to our brief and objectives, gave us confidence and importantly only offered us solutions that were directly relevant to our business and long term investment needs.
They found us a property in exactly the right location with significant potential very quickly, before it was even on the market. It wasn’t where we first expected but their insight and knowledge ensured that it was entirely appropriate to our needs. They took us through a challenging buying process, always offering best advice and negotiating sensibly and sensitively on our behalf.
Our existing property had to be sold and their guidance through an evolving market in a challenging part of the city was exemplary, and we achieved excellent value, so enabling the successful transition of the business to its new location.
Without Burston Cook it is difficult to see how our business could have moved to a fantastic new environment in such a successful way - R Proctor MBE MD Proctor and Stevenson
I want just to say a BIG THANK YOU for all you have done to finalise this deal. It was so hard, and was for me the more difficult purchase EVER!!!! ...I understand why you are THE BEST!!

We recently purchased our lovely new offices through Burston Cook and I am so glad that we did. The journey was not as smooth as I might have hoped due to issues with solicitors and deadlines slipping, but the team at Burston Cook were fantastic. Finola and Hayley worked hard to chase documents, liaise with the vendor and generally keep everything on track. They really did go above and beyond to help ensure that we were finally able to move in on deadline.

The Burston Cook team have been our agents for at least the past 15 years. They have found for us excellent commercial properties, both retail and offices during that time and negotiating successfully on our behalf. Their knowledge and experience of the market has been a real asset when negotiating rent reviews and leases.

At all the meetings with various specialist members of the team, the discussions have always been informative, productive and friendly - Rosemary Hill

I'm delighted to say that we completed on the sale of 226 Cheltenham Rd today, thanks to Burston Cook. We eventually achieved a sale price which we were very happy with.
Burston Cook did a fantastic job throughout the sale. They were extremely professional, friendly, helpful, and provided excellent communication throughout the process. Due to our lack of experience on commercial property sale matters, Burston Cook willingly performed a number of activities on our behalf, just to get the deal done.
We are extremely grateful for their help for what was at times a difficult process for us.
T Savvas Esq - Vendor
Many thanks for all your help and expertise regarding the letting of our retail shop in Kingswood Bristol-

A very big and heartfelt thank you for the incredible amount of work and time and effort you put into the overly complicated sale of my cafe. I honestly don't know what I would have done without you.
Ms E Wright- Assignor
THANKYOU- For marketing and achieving the sale of our property under difficult circumstances, never the less the commitment and the pro-active nature that you conducted yourself was a credit to you and to Burston Cook, for which we can only express our thanks and appreciation.
Director - J. Bailey & Sons Ltd
Following a recent family bereavement and facing the prospect of a terminating lease of offices, I was able to rest assured that BC would use their very extensive and comprehensive contacts and resources to carry through the most viable option going forward.
Early in the process they set up a meeting to agree terms with the tenant who wished to vacate before the lease termination. . Being located in a difficult out of town location in a v testing market, BC was able to generate interest in the property resulting in very satisfactory purchase negotiations.
The team liaised with both our solicitors and managing agents and kept me regularly updated with meetings and conversations all through the process. A huge 'thank you' to Finola, Julian and Jayne. All best for the future!
Thank you so much for all the time and energy you have put into selling our property and for giving me hope. I am immensely grateful to you
We recently leased a new office through Burston Cook. Having come from a licensed office environment we were understandably wary about what taking a lease would mean they were fantastic throughout the whole process and nothing was too much trouble They answered all of our questions quickly and in terms we were comfortable with, helped to keep things on track with the solicitors and made sure that we got the moving date we wanted, despite it stretching over the Christmas period. We can't recommend Burston Cook highly enough for commercial property.
Toby Hoare - Director at Mucero Ltd.
Huge thanks to Burston Cook who recently guided us from initial conversation through sensitive negotiations to the successful purchase of our office to a tight deadline.
The advice and reassurance was invaluable and allowed us to enjoy an otherwise nerve-wracking process. The icing on the cake was to find the perfect tenant for us so that as well as securing our business's home for the future, it will also prove to be a sound long term investment. Thank you!
Many thanks for managing my property in Clifton which has been done without my having to travel miles for meetings etc. This successful relationship has now come to an end with an equally successful sale of the property. Your advice and handling of the terminal lease negotiations, planning issues and marketing ensured the very best price was achieved . Thank you and I would not hesitate in recommending Burston Cook.
Thank you for your great help and service in negotiating the sale of our property here in Clifton.
Many thanks again for your help and advice during the whole sale process and all the other times when we have needed your help during the ownership of the building. We are delighted with your input – D Marval (property owner).
We recently completed an assignment of lease for a shop in Bristol. Burston Cook happened to be the appointed agents marketing the property. I must say that we were very impressed at the level of service that we received from Burston Cook throughout the whole process.
From our initial viewing of the property, negotiating with the landlord and solicitors, through to final completion Burston Cook handled everything with the utmost professionalism enabling a smooth and speedy conclusion. Burston Cook will definitely be our preferred agents for any future property dealings.
Burston Cook have recently been responsible for managing the very difficult task of releasing me from a commercial lease and have been incredibly patient, knowledgable, persistent, understanding and most importantly, human.
Faced with what felt like a burden I went to them for advice and Burston Cook were invaluable, offering to approach my existing landlord with a plan to let me surrender my lease and let them find a new tenant that would fit their criteria. Burston Cook set to the task with a never ending supply of enthusiasm and energy.
They faced every conceivable hurdle from every direction but have not once waned in their support through what has been a really stressful period. They have been incredibly supportive and even found me a solicitor when I needed one!
I could not recommend them enough -
Having recently relocated my business to Bristol and viewed a number of properties through different agents and it immediately became apparent that Burston Cook would completely surpass my expectations in their professionalism and ability to work to probably a world record of tight time scales. Having viewed the property on the Friday morning and a requirement to have the keys and be in for the following Thursday I was expecting a protracted affair but without hesitation Burston Cook somehow got us from viewing to legal and lease and sat in the plush new offices on the Wednesday at 4pm . Other agents were talking a month to achieve this and a big thank you to Burston Cook for doing this in 6 days. It was a complete pleasure to deal with you. M Caldwell esq IPL Training Services.
We are delighted with the Shoe Factory Sale which as you know has been more of a "journey" than ever possibly anticipated.
You have been a cheerful and steady pair of hands throughout and it is not a cliché to say that you very much became a "trusted advisor". I will have no hesitation in having you top of my list for any opportunities I can put your way and we are hugely grateful for all your hard work and efforts.
With many sincere thanks - Nick and Amy - private owners
Burston Cook recently acted in the sale of the four investment properties of Bishop Monk’s Horfield Trust. On their advice they were sold individually, and the Trustees were impressed with the speed with which he found different purchasers for all of them, and the sale prices which were all above, and in some cases substantially above, most recent valuations. They were also impressed that the whole exercise was completed within six months.
Many, many thanks for all your help with this purchase. It has always been a pleasure hearing your cheery voice at the end of the phone. We have a great property and couldn't be happier.
Burston Cook listened to our brief and got it so right! In fact, the first premises that they showed us was exactly right for us and we bought it - It was off market, and we wouldn't have otherwise known about it, yet it ticked all our boxes-
Burston Cook guided us through the process from start to finish and always steered us in the right direction when required. We highly recommend the Burston Cook Office Agency Team.
Please thank Burston Cook for their courtesy and professionalism. I have no doubt that I will be seeking their advice once again in perhaps four years - Dr Carmody
On behalf of all of chambers may I thank you once again not only for your efforts on this business but also your patience and tenacity - Queen Square Barristers Chambers
After making a decision to move offices last year, Burston Cook has held our hand every step of the way. The support that we have been given, has been invaluable in making this move a success. We would not hesitate to recommend Burston Cook based on our experience and we would not move again without them.
Burston Cook team were highly recommended to me and they didn't disappoint.
We had a specific requirement for office space in Bristol and they found it for us. They guided us through the process from end to end and made some valuable introductions along the way to enable us to get everything sorted efficiently. We would highly recommend the Burston Cook Office Agency Team.
I just wanted to thank you very much for your hard work in marketing this office suite for us.
Your perseverance and professionalism are much appreciated and resulted in a successful campaign and disposal.
I was recommended to use Burston Cook to market the commercial building I owned in Bristol. Burston Cook helped me to realise the value from the building. Burston Cook devised a marketing strategy that complied with city council requirements, and the building has now been sold for a much higher price than two previous valuations from other agents. They also recommended Solicitors and surveyors, and were always available to provide advice personally usually by return of e-mail.
I just wanted to thank you for all of your help over a number of years and which finally culminated in the successful sale of Prince William House and Matthew House on Colston Street.
You stuck with this project over a long period and made real efforts to market the property and introduce potential buyers and tenants in a market which was, to say the least, challenging. Bristol.
After expending some considerable efforts you produced two interested parties and worked very hard to achieve the best price for us in a most professional manner and I am extremely grateful for all of your assistance.
Over a three year period, Burston Cook helped me successfully acquire a 3,300 sq ft office in a Bristol based out of town Business Park and then helped me again to sell the same office as business circumstances changed. On both occasions the process was professional, straightforward and conducted in a quick and timely manner.
I have no hesitation in recommending their services to your business.
Many thanks, David

Burston Cook was the first company I contacted when we needed to move offices. I've worked with them on 2 office moves and they are an invaluable part of the process.

Our requirements weren't straightforward for both our office acquisition and disposal but she never lets this phase her. Her negotiation skills are exceptional and she's a great problem solver and is a pleasure to work with - I wouldn't move office without Burston Cook.

Thank you once again for the outstanding service you provided in finding a long term tenant for my retail unit. Your staff are a credit to you proving to be an invaluable link between me and my new tenant throughout the inevitably protracted legal process.
BC did a great job in finding a suitable solution to a Property that Schawk has owned for some time and has been vacant for the majority of that time. The deal was not an easy one to conclude as it involved a number of parties but BC’s knowledge and experience of the local market plus a practical and common sense approach to making sure a deal happened was central to the conclusion of a successful solution.
Burston Cook have worked very hard in these difficult times to find us a tenant for the last office and with relief we are now FULLY LET.
We would recommend you. Thank you.
Tim Pritchard Discretionary Settlement
Burston Cook have been extremely effective in their advice from their initial recommendations through to the negotiations and completion of the lease.
With the difficulties regarding the outstanding dilapidations and agreed Schedule of Works as part of the negotiations, you have worked particularly hard and your tenacity has led to a more than satisfactory conclusion.
Obviously you have now worked for Western Power Distribution on a number of our properties and I would certainly not hesitate to recommend you to other potential clients - WPD Property Investments Limited.
I would particularly like to thank you for all the effort that you have made to get this sale completed. You left no stone unturned and pulled out all the stops.

I just wanted to thank you for getting me a good tenant for Brook Office. In the present climate it has been exceptionally hard but you have really worked hard to achieve it. I knew all the time that you were on the case and that you were aware of all the enquiries out there. Incidentally, you helped me with my relationship with the bank because the manager knew of your excellent reputation in Bristol and was happy to continue lending me money because he knew that everything possible was being done to achieve a new tenant. Thank you, you couldn't have worked harder or done more - Ms C Tyson - property investor

We have always been delighted at the service we have received from BC-but particularly the office agency, who had to steer the ship through choppy waters to enable us to reach the finish line. Everyone at BC has impressed us - you are obviously a lovely company both to do business with and to work for.
Well done! - Private purchaser of Clifton property c£1millon.
We used Burston Cook after receiving several market appraisals because it was clear that Burston Cook had the necessary local knowledge and contacts. We were proved correct and were extremely happy with the result - A Greenslade esq - private property owner - £1.3 million sale

We very much appreciated your experience and advice when it came to the Heads of Terms on the property, and I have no doubt we would not have achieved all of the terms we wanted, or in fact recognised terms we could negotiate to our advantage, without your input and liaison with King Sturge. It took the stress away from us and let us get on with worrying about the other elements of the move!
Burston Cook is different and is not just another commercial agent following the crowd and doing the job with the same preconceived ideas as all the others. Too many agents give the impression that they are a clique. Burston Cook are well respected by their peers but from a clients point of view I want someone who can think outside the box and work hard at looking after my interests as if it were theirs.
The proof of the pudding is found in results. My firm came up with a new and novel way of letting office space and involved two well respected international agents to act for us but without success. One of those agents suggested a joint agency with Burston Cook, one of the good things they did do, for Burston Cook was the only agent that introduced that key pivotal tenant that gets the letting program underway.
I would not heistate to recommend Burston Cook.
Lloyd's Register instructed Burston Cook to carry out a search for 6,000 - 8,000 sq ft of office space in Bristol for one of its local subsidiary companies - Human Engineering Ltd. Burston Cook were appointed to lead the instruction and provide professional services from the outset, from us with a shortlist of options in the area to completing the detailed negotiations on our behalf. As a result, Lloyd's Register secured a superb deal at St Catherine's Court, Clifton. We completed the transaction in May of this year and certainly would not have managed the smooth process or secured the deal we did without the help of Burston Cook.
We are so delighted with the service which we received that we have since instructed Burston Cook to handle a lease renewal on one of our other offices in Bristol.
We have no hesitation at all in highly recommending Burston Cook as property consultants.
This move has been possible due to the professional assistance of one of our long term business partners, Burston Cook, who have facilitated our search and fulfilled our brief.
Burston Cook worked with us in acquiring new premises for Handelsbanken.
A good number of properties were shortlisted for us and Burston Cook very quickly grasped an excellent understanding of our requirement to narrow down suitable opportunities.
Thereafter, once the best location was identified, Burston Cook worked tirelessly towards a completion. Burston Cook provided tremendous support and advice during the negotiation stages and then continued the process, constantly liaising with various agents and professionals during the legal process.
They provided additional valueable introductions, beyond their brief, to other related third party professionals who helped with the branch set-up process.
We thoroughly recommend the services offered by Burston Cook and look forward to retaining the local relationship with the team in the future.
