Their level of detail, insight and proactivity is very impressive – we trust them to leave no stone unturned in their drive for optimisation. We continue to be impressed by their performance, which has exceeded expectations and would recommend them to others.”

“AREA has a unique proposition over many competitors thanks to the team’s deep operational knowledge that helps on the acquisitor side and offers a deeper level of underwriting and insight of performance too which facilitates our ability to asset manage at a higher level. They have become more like part of our own team helping to build our exposure to Alternatives and undoubtedly provide us with competitive advantage in this sector. I absolutely trust their expertise and advice as an advisor more than just a broker. They are invested in the long-term client relationship over short term deal making and invest their own time upfront while always having a senior member of the team actively involved in the work throughout. I really enjoy working with AREA and I’d not hesitate to recommend them.”

"The AREA team have a deep understanding of operational real estate and I trust them implicitly to interrogate all information with a forensic approach and identify red flags and opportunities to ensure the best possible performance of our assets. They are truly unique - I don’t know of anyone else who offers something similar on the operational side of real estate."

"AREA offers us a strong insight into the Alternative sectors and assets, with a much more detailed and analytical approach than other advisers. They are both honest and friendly, whilst their proactivity drives deals and other investment opportunities."

“AREA are reliable, have excellent market knowledge and have delivered multiple successful outcomes for us. We would like to see AREA take the opportunity to leverage their relationships with fund managers and forge ahead in the Alternatives market, whilst not diluting their unique and specialist expertise. We don’t work with any other firms of AREA’s size that offer a similar depth of experience for student property. They comfortably stand-up against the larger full service firms and are able to drive positive outcomes thanks to the active role their senior directors take throughout the job. AREA offer a comprehensive service on multiple Alternatives sub-markets whether this is direct advisory on transactions or as a retained advisor sitting above operations. We will continue to use them and highly recommend their services.”
