Valuations

We provide property valuations for various purposes to banks, various alternative lenders, property companies, developers, local authorities, public bodies, legal and accountancy professionals and investors.

Rent Review
A commercial rent review is a scheduled adjustment of lease rent, commonly every five years to ensure it reflects current market conditions. Chartered surveyors play a key role in this process using detailed market analysis and negotiation skills to help both landlords and tenants reach a fair and balanced outcome. In cases of dispute, independent arbitration or expert determination may be required to resolve matters efficiently.

At Cohalan Downing, we have a team of experienced professionals who specialise in all aspects of commercial rent reviews. Whether you are a landlord seeking to maximise returns or a tenant aiming to ensure fairness in your lease terms, our experts are equipped to provide clear and strategic advice backed by strong market insight. We take a practical and informed approach to protect your interests and ensure a smooth and compliant rent review process from start to finish.

Arbitration

We specialise in professional arbitration services with a strong focus on the commercial property sector. Whether the issue involves rent reviews, lease agreements or valuations, our team brings practical expertise and deep market knowledge to deliver fair, efficient resolutions.

Acting for both landlords and tenants, we ensure that every outcome aligns with current legislation and reflects the realities of today’s property market.

Our arbitration work is conducted under the Arbitration Act 2010, which follows international best practice through the UNCITRAL Model Law. From drafting arbitration clauses to managing the full process and enforcing final decisions, we provide a seamless, confidential service tailored to your needs.
