Major Bristol Site acquisition for Gympanzees- from Ms. S Wheen CEO and founder

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!

BRISTOL- OFFICE ACQUISITION

“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.

OFFICE ACQUISITION- Jason Connolly MD JMC Legal recruitment

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

OFFICE ACQUISITION AND LINKED SALE

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

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!

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.

Industrial disposal- for Schawk

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.

CX Partners

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!

Bellwind-Edis Ltd

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.

Bellwind-Edis Ltd
Lloyd's Register

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.

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.
