Description

Investment Property Advisor

Swindon Borough Council invites expressions of interest from suitably qualified and experienced service providers for the provision of investment property advice and portfolio review

Project Description

In common with a number of local authorities, Swindon Borough Council is looking to acquire more commercial properties for purely investment purposes to provide new and additional sources of income over the medium to long term to support the delivery of Council services.

The Council has set an annual budgetary target of an additional £500,000 net income starting in 2017/18, increasing by £500,000 each year thereafter. We anticipate this may require around 4 to 5 completed acquisitions annually reflecting individual lot sizes of between £3.5m to £7m.

To support this acquisition programme the Council is looking to appoint a specialist
Investment Property Advisor to review of the existing portfolio, and provide investment advice on future acquisitions

Full details relating to the Services are provided in the tender documents.

Contract Period

The contract will be initially for a period of 24 months commencing 1 September 2017 with the option to extend for a further 12 months subject to satisfactory performance and budget availability.
