Lambert Smith Hampton - Commercial real estate consultants

Lambert Smith Hampton is a commercial real estate consultancy with 29 offices and over 1,000 staff, operating across the UK and Ireland. Its principal companies include Lambert Smith Hampton Group Limited, Lambert Smith Hampton (NIreland) Limited, Lambert Smith Hampton Limited, and Associated Employers Limited. The Milton Keynes office covers Milton Keynes, Bedford, Luton, Aylesbury, Buckingham and surrounding areas. The Milton Keynes team provides transaction and consultancy services to major stakeholders across the private and public sectors, and is particularly active in industrial and distribution markets along the M1 corridor.

The office deals with some of Milton Keynes' principal office instructions, including Aberdeen Asset Manager's 200,000 sq ft 'Pinnacle' scheme, and completed the disposal of Hexagon House, an out-of-town office building in Milton Keynes. Lambert Smith Hampton also completed the disposal of a prime Milton Keynes asset for Balmoral Land. The firm provides integrated services including sourcing, planning, funding, advising, managing, valuing and selling properties.

Commercial property owners in Milton Keynes approaching the firm for advice have struggled to make contact with the team. A client seeking a valuation of a substantial commercial property telephoned twice and received no return call on either occasion, an experience attributed to staffing. A separate account raises the matter of fees, which are described as excessive and not clearly tied to the work carried out. The office covers commercial property estate agency, property management, consultancy and surveyor work.
