Occupier advisors you can trust

BTG Eddisons' occupier advisory service supports public sector organisations that manage their own estates, from central and local government to education, healthcare, housing associations, and blue light services. The service covers workplace estate reviews, estates strategy, organisational reviews, programme management, Private Finance Initiative (PFI) advice, and business case and financial modelling.

To discuss your estate, call 0800 051 2593, email [email protected], or complete our contact form further down the page.

What does our occupier advisory service cover?

Workplace estate reviews

Reviewing how an organisation uses its estate, identifying opportunities for smarter working and rationalisation, and quantifying the operational and financial benefits available. See our guide to public sector estate reviews.

Estates strategy

Gathering and reporting estate data from an organisation-wide view to shape a coherent strategy that aligns property with operational objectives and funding realities.

Organisational reviews

Verifying good practice within a client's estate function and identifying areas for improvement, positioned as an ongoing governance and assurance exercise rather than a one-off audit.

Programme management

Supporting or managing large-scale estate programmes that require both technical property expertise and disciplined programme management, coordinating delivery, risk, and reporting across complex, multi-site initiatives.

Private Finance Initiative (PFI) advice

Supporting occupiers and investors through PFI contract expiry and the residual liabilities that come with it, helping clients plan the transition with confidence.

Business case and financial modelling

Aligning assets to future requirements and building the business case to support capital investment decisions, structured around the HM Treasury Green Book five-case model.

How does our occupier advisory process work?

  1. Discovery and data gathering – Understanding objectives, constraints, and existing estate data to build an accurate baseline.
  2. Options appraisal – Evaluating each option against strategic objectives, financial parameters, and procurement constraints.
  3. Business case development – Structuring the case using the HM Treasury Green Book five-case model where funding approval is required.
  4. Delivery and monitoring – Supporting delivery and reporting progress against the agreed business case.

Javid Patel BSc Hons, MRICS, Registered Valuer, is Senior Director and Head of Public Sector and Strategic Advisory at BTG Eddisons. He leads the firm's public sector advisory work, specialising in development feasibility, corporate advisory consultancy, and capital markets.

Good estates strategy starts with genuinely understanding how an organisation works, not just what property it owns. That is why we spend time with estates, operations, and finance teams before we recommend anything, so the strategy actually reflects how the client operates.
