Grice Collins Long is a firm of Chartered Surveyors and Accountants, dedicated to providing clear and expert advice within the dynamic worlds of food & beverage, travel, and retail. We recognise that each sector presents unique challenges and opportunities, and we pride ourselves on tailoring our services to meet the specific needs of our clients. We operate with a strong belief in challenging conventional wisdom and embracing innovation, always striving to deliver solutions that are both effective and sustainable.

Our success is built upon decades of experience within these specialist markets. We have developed a deep understanding of the intricacies of each sector, allowing us to provide unparalleled insight and guidance to both landlords and tenants. Our reputation for professionalism, integrity, and a results-driven approach has earned us the trust of leading organisations across the UK.

Landlord Services

GCL's Agency department is at the forefront of delivering cutting-edge asset initiatives that drive long-term value. We strive to forge win-win solutions for both landlords and tenants, understanding that a thriving trading environment benefits all parties. We specialise in the Food & Beverage sector, leveraging our extensive knowledge and network to secure high-quality tenants who will contribute to the success of your property.

Our approach to lease negotiation is unique. We go beyond simply considering lease terms and covenants. We delve into the financial health of potential tenants, carefully assessing their capacity to meet rental obligations. This meticulous process, which involves reviewing profit and loss accounts, ensures sustainable rental agreements rather than fixating on outdated metrics like rate per square foot or Zone A values. Ultimately, our goal is to achieve the 'Maximum Affordable Rent', a figure that reflects the tenant's financial capabilities and ensures the long-term viability of the lease.

Tenant Services

Our Tenant Services team draws upon decades of experience in the commercial occupier sector, encompassing both client-side and private practice perspectives. This enables us to provide tailor-made advice across a range of areas crucial to tenant success.

We understand that navigating the complexities of the property market can be challenging. Our team helps businesses of all sizes, particularly within High Street Retail, Out of Town Retail, and the Food & Beverage sector, to optimise their property strategies. We empower clients to fine-tune their property function, achieving significant cost reductions and maximising profit through strategic acquisitions and disposals. Our collaborative approach fosters leaner and more agile organisations, enabling businesses to thrive in the ever-changing market landscape.
