Industrial sales and lettings

KWB brings the experience and knowledge necessary to identify and realise opportunities. We can do this within either your existing Midlands industrial portfolio or a prospective acquisition.

KWB’s portfolio features commercial properties in key industrial areas within the West Midlands. We are heavily active in locations such as Birmingham, Solihull, Redditch, Aldridge, Walsall and the Black Country.

We provide advice, and acquire and sell industrial property investments for clients seeking industrial, logistics and warehousing space, from prime single-lets to comprehensive multi-tenanted industrial park investments.

Investing in industrial property

With our unique expertise in property investment, you can benefit from the off-market opportunities we identify and the unseen potential we recognise in properties on the market or in your portfolio. We can advise on the following property investment areas:

• Property sales and acquisition
• Reports on emerging industrial property trends
• Property asset management opportunities to maximise returns and minimise risk
• Generation of capital through sale and leaseback
• Purchase strategy
• Refurbishment
• Property re-branding/market re-positioning

Marketing your industrial space

Behind every successful industrial unit sale, development or letting is a comprehensive and integrated marketing plan.

A detailed marketing plan is essential to selling industrial property and we pride ourselves on the plans we tailor to each project. We focus on the end user occupier profile for the property and utilise our own organic enquiry database. We also use bespoke targeted occupier databases with both online and offline marketing techniques to broadcast a compelling message to key decision makers.

Leasehold and freehold disposals

Our team sources and delivers prime industrial space, both large and small, to a diverse mix of UK and global businesses. We take a proactive approach to securing occupiers for your space, whilst giving rigorous consideration to live enquiries within the marketplace. We also seek to create fresh opportunities, conducting well-structured negotiations to galvanise the interest of off-market occupiers.

Our extensive, up-to-date understanding of occupier trends and requirements informs us on how best to bring your property to people’s attention. When bringing properties to market, we consider the positioning of the property, marketing materials, photography and if any refurbishments may make a significant impact on a property’s appeal – in order to secure an occupier.

When managing a client’s property portfolio, we recognise all facets of maintaining it. We understand the importance of ‘time sensitive’ matters, and the need for efficient, speedy letting of vacant industrial space.

Development consultancy

KWB’s strength lies in investment and research – through this we have accrued vast experience in identifying and developing opportunities. Be it a major industrial refurbishment, a redevelopment, a potential business park or industrial estate,  we will deliver. We have provided expert advice and acquired land and buildings on behalf of institutions, developers and property companies.

We achieve prompt returns by proactively investigating potential occupiers and seeking space within the West Midlands marketplace. KWB regularly monitors requirements for large and small industrial users, throughout the region, allowing us to provide invaluable advice to developers, in respect of trends and rental expectancy.

• Expert appraisal of the scheme from years of experience working with a wide variety of developments
• Research into telecommunications infrastructure and resilience
