Strategic Property Management
"Barts and the London Charity works through Barts and The London NHS Trust and Barts and The London School of Medicine and Dentistry and associated partners to support projects that will enhance the health and well-being of people receiving medical care, attention or treatments. Up to 50% of The Charity’s endowment is invested in directly held property. In 2009 The Charity tendered for property managing agent services for a portion of its commercial property portfolio, located in East London, which historically had many complex issues to manage. The Charity was keen to appoint a pro active agent who understood its needs, was able to deliver a timely and quality professional service and who would help The Charity achieve and exceed its investment objectives. The Charity has worked with Strettons now for over one year and they have surpassed initial expectations throughout. As a result, The Charity now has the ability to implement a realistic strategic programme to achieve the key investment objectives which in turn supports its charitable activities. Strettons’ property management and commercial agency skills have impressed The Charity’s Trustees and it is happy to recommend their services accordingly." Andrew Douglas, Chief Executive October 2010

Strettons are one of the most popular surveying companies Optima instruct, and they are clearly dedicated to building the relationship by providing excellent service. Most importantly, Strettons keep a close eye on the developments of each case and are always on hand to assist in further work at very short notice.
