In this episode of the Market Lens Podcast, Tom Wallace, CEO of Re-Leased, and Andrew Knight, Global Data & Tech Lead at RICS, look at how some commercial landlords are adopting innovative approaches to ensure demand for spaceswhile others are being left behind. They also discuss the impact of shortening lease lengths in the UK office sector on valuations and how to approach adaptive reuse.
In this episode of the Market Lens Podcast, Tom Wallace, CEO of Re-Leased and Laurence Hart from Macquarie Business Bank shed light on the declining length of office leases in Australia, delving into the factors behind this trend and its impact on the market.
The office market is undergoing a significant transformation, marked by a seismic shift in tenant preferences and strategies. Recent data from Re-Leased reveals a notable decrease in the average length of office leases across the United Kingdom, New Zealand, and Australia, reflecting a shared trend in the commercial property industry. This article will focus on the office market, exploring the factors driving this shift and the implications for landlords and occupiers alike.

With the Covid-19 pandemic accelerating many already growing trends, it’s predicted that paper billing will become obsolete by 2026.

In the world of real estate, there are several metrics that can help gauge the health of a real estate investment. In addition to net operating income (“NOI”), understanding cash flow is a key measure allowing owners and managers of real estate to track the health of their property and provide projected returns to their investors.
The real estate industry has always been a laggard when it comes to embracing technology.
In May 2021 office occupancy in London, as measured bythe Metrikus Occupancy Index, surged above 50% for the first time since lockdown measures were introduced in March 2020. The trend is being seen across the UK, with occupancy for the country coming in at 47%. As restrictions ease and vaccination numbers rise, these factors will help boost worker confidence in returning to the office. But it won’t be a return to the office as we knew it, as demand grows for flexible leases and spaces that offer experiences and amenities that cannot be found at home.
Sam Caulton, Re-Leased CFO reflects on how the return to work is tracking from Auckland to London reviewing vacancy rates and rent collection data as well as his experience moving offices in the middle of the pandemic. What can these insights tell property managers and landlords about how to manage re-occupancy?

Congratulations, you’ve decided on a new property management software to boost your commercial real estate company’s performance! But before you start seeing the benefits, you’ll need to get the system setup and running. This process can have many names – implementation, onboarding, migration – and it can be an unknown if you’ve never gone through it before. The ideal scenario after you’ve purchased your software is that the implementation runs smoothly, you get to learn the ins and outs of the platform, and then you’re ready to hit your target go-live date. In this blog, we’ll outline 4 steps to get your company ready for the move and get up and running without any headaches. If you haven’t quite settled on your new software of choice, read through our guide to selecting the best platform for your company here. Understand what’s involved in the implementation Firstly, it’s important to know you will have to commit time and effort to the project during implementation. Having someone in your office who will own this on your end is key. They will act as the bridge between the software provider’s implementation specialists and your team. There will typically be a kickoff call with the software provider and this is where they will outline what will happen each week and the training sessions that will take place. A standard implementation can take three months, so having buy-in from your team is critical to keeping the momentum going as you progress through the onboarding. Working together with your software provider and asking for transparency in each stage, helps to stay on top of the implementation. While some companies might be looking for a quick fix when it comes to bringing on new software, the reality is that you have to be prepared to commit to learning and understanding a new system to get the full benefits. Clean up your data One of the main questions companies have when moving to a new system is, ‘What should I do with my data before migrating it?’ The simple answer is to clean it up by making sure everything is correct and up to date. Often, businesses are not as vigilant as they should be in ensuring data accuracy. But, once again, putting the effort in before making the move will streamline your data migration and the overall implementation. Important data to check and update: Inspections and maintenance tasks that need to be closed off Reviewing owner and tenant profiles - name, contact number Rent reviews and lease renewal dates Outstanding invoices that need to be paid Check your whole database - have you got information in there that you don’t need? Attend the training sessions No one expects you to become an expert on a property management system straight away. That’s why it’s essential to attend the training sessions and get familiar with how the different features, workflows and dashboards work. These are some of the typical sessions you will have with your provider: Introduction to core features and functions Property management functions Tenancy management functions Expense recovery Trust Accounting functions Before or after these sessions, your software provide might also direct you to their Knowledge Base or Help Centre which will have articles and videos with comprehensive step-by-step guides on how to use specific features. The Knowledge Base is a valuable resource that should be taken full advantage of to help speed up your learning. Inform your clients, tenants and owners of the change While you would have communicated the system change with your staff internally, it’s just as important to notify your clients, tenants and owners. This is a great opportunity to reach out to your clients and let them know all of the benefits they’ll now experience with the new software, such as access to a mobile app or online portal, or greater visibility of a property’s performance. Keeping clients updated avoids any surprises on their end when they see some of these changes. Going live Reaching the end of your implementation should mean you are ready to go live with your new software. But don’t fret that you’ll be left on your own, the implementation team will be on-hand for that first month while you get fully acquainted with the system. After that, you’ll have access to the customer support team who will be your port of call for any issues, guidance, or questions you may have as you start a new chapter. Check out our in-depth guide for more tips and insights on streamlining the implementation process so you go live in time for the new fiscal year. Get the guide
Commercial real estate has always been an industry centered around relationships. Arguably, they’ve been the most valuable asset for a property professional to own.
It is coined one of the largest, if not the most significant, aberrations for our industry. Messages surrounding the need for real estate companies to harness the utility of data and to ensure its visibility are plentiful. And they aren’t wrong. We operate in a sector where anecdotal evidence is the norm, insight on deal size and nature is communicated on a phone call. Real estate information is amassed in the human cerebral as opposed to online data stores, even in 2020. There is a ripeness for greater transparency as to how our industry operates and the intricacies involved.
Cloud computing and ‘tech stacks’ transformed Re-Leased CFO Sam Caulton’s role and here he talks about how it can be transformational for property businesses.

Switching from manual to digital processes may sound daunting – but apps can bring it within reach for businesses of all sizes, as one case study demonstrates Matt Fitzgerald MRICS joined Commercial Property Partners LLP (CPP) in 2015 as a partner to launch its property and asset management division. Since then, he has scaled the team up to seven people and added a specialist maintenance division, CPP FM & Projects, enabling the firm to offer an integrated property and facilities management service. Technology has played a substantial role in enabling this expansion of the business.
Building relationships in business takes hard work and dedication. There needs to be a clear understanding of what each party’s vision is, and how that pertains to the goals set in place that determine business outcomes.

Should commercial landlords revisit their office leasing strategy to recapture potential tenants? We dive into whether co-working spaces have thrown a spanner in the works for commercial landlords. Read on.
As humans sometimes we make decisions quickly, other times not so much. We draw conclusions based on our calculations of what we think is right – we live with it and then go on with our day. If we break down the anatomy of a business decision it always looks the same: we want the best out of the cost-to-benefit ratio. What if there was a more sophisticated way to make decisions? So to do things well, to do them on time, and to do them more efficiently than ever before? Well, there is an avenue to achieve this in real estate today: enter PropTech, and more impressively, advanced analytics. Let's dive in.
The way we look at customer experiences is changing quite rapidly, and this is evident in the shift in the way buyers and sellers are interacting.
