A successful refurbishment changes much more than the way a building looks.

At Hanover House in Kingston upon Thames, we project-managed a comprehensive upgrade of this four-storey office building—inside and out.

The project included a new entrance and reception, replacement windows, upgraded office space, new shower facilities and a complete exterior refresh.

Each decision had a commercial purpose: to improve first impressions, enhance functionality and create a more attractive place for businesses to work.

When did you last check that your building is insured for what it would actually cost to rebuild?

An outdated Reinstatement Cost Assessment can create risk in either direction. If the figure is too low, you could face a substantial shortfall following a claim. If it is too high, you may be paying more in premiums than necessary.

In her blog, Jane Beacham MRICS explained how an accurate, up-to-date assessment can support policy compliance, lender requirements, smoother claims and effective long-term risk management.

And she highlights an often-overlooked point: depending on the lease terms, landlords may be able to recover the cost of an RCA from their tenants.

We’ll also be sharing more practical advice from our summer filming session with Jane soon 📽️

Received a Terminal Schedule of Dilapidations?

It is important not to treat every item or estimated cost as something that should automatically be accepted without careful review.

At lease end, repairing, redecorating and reinstatement obligations can lead to a substantial and unexpected liability. A clear response starts with the lease, a proper inspection of the property and the available evidence—from any Schedule of Condition to approvals, inspection records and maintenance history.

Early advice matters. It gives everyone time to establish the position, consider whether works should be undertaken and negotiate a practical outcome before timescales narrow and positions become harder to resolve.

When children’s charity KIDS received a Terminal Schedule of Dilapidations, Shepherd represented the tenant and helped reduce its liability by more than 60% - a saving of £26,000.

Sunday read ☕

EPC changes may still feel some way off, but for commercial landlords, the useful work starts well before any deadline.

The question isn’t necessarily “what do we need to spend now?” — it’s “what should we be planning for?”

That means understanding where your portfolio currently stands, looking at upcoming lease events, planned maintenance and future investment, and identifying where energy-efficiency improvements could fit naturally into the wider asset strategy.

Our latest blog looks at what commercial landlords — and owners of mixed-use property — should be thinking about now.

A commercial property has to work for a lot of people.

For the owner investing in its future. For the businesses occupying it. For the people who live in it or use it every day.

Good property management means understanding all of those perspectives, while looking after the building itself, protecting its long-term value and planning for what comes next.

Because behind every well-managed property are countless decisions that most people will never see.

That’s where experience, attention to detail and a genuinely proactive approach make the difference.

EPC requirements are changing. But the answer isn’t necessarily to start spending money now.

It’s to start planning.

Where does your portfolio currently stand? What maintenance or investment is already on the horizon? Are there upcoming lease events that could create a natural opportunity to make improvements?

And, importantly, could improving energy efficiency deliver benefits beyond simply meeting future regulations?

We’ve pulled together some of the questions commercial property owners should be asking now.

2031 might sound a long way away.

In property terms, it really isn’t.

The Government has set out its intended direction for new Minimum Energy Efficiency Standards, with larger privately rented commercial buildings potentially required to achieve EPC B from 2031, where cost-effective.

And for landlords with mixed-use portfolios, there’s another date to consider: higher energy efficiency standards are also planned for privately rented homes from October 2030.

So, should landlords be starting major programmes of work now? Not necessarily.

But should they be looking at their portfolio, upcoming lease events, planned maintenance and future investment – and working out where energy improvements could fit into those plans?

Absolutely.

Our latest blog looks at what’s changing, what isn’t, and what commercial and mixed-use landlords should be thinking about now.

Property is about people.

That might sound like a simple statement, but it's a principle that shapes the way we work.

Our expertise is in property - consultancy, asset management, commercial agency and building surveying - but ultimately we understand that the impact of that work is human.

It's about creating better places to work.

Helping landlords and occupiers make good decisions.

Creating spaces that work for the people who use them.

And building relationships based on professional advice, good communication and an understanding of what our clients are trying to achieve.

Because however technical working with commercial property can be, there's always a person on the receiving end of decisions we make.

London never stands still.

The skyline changes. Businesses evolve. Neighbourhoods develop.

And the commercial property market continues to create new challenges and opportunities.

It's one of the things that makes working in the capital so interesting.

Shepherd Property Consultants has long had a London presence: and we're about to see the city from a slightly different perspective.

Our London team will soon be moving from Richmond to a new, more central home.

We'll share more when the time comes. For now, we're looking forward to the view.

The value of proactive property management isn't always obvious.

That's because its biggest successes are often the problems that never happen.

A lease renewal secured before a tenant starts looking elsewhere.

Maintenance carried out before it becomes an emergency.

An issue identified during a routine inspection rather than after an expensive repair.

That's why good property management rarely creates headlines.
