Retail and Leisure
Hicks Baker is consistently ranked the ‘most active Retail & Leisure agent’ in Berkshire.
Our market knowledge, experience and straightforward advice, ensures you have all the information available to make the best informed decisions, when acquiring, letting or selling.
“My partner and I have owned a commercial property in Reading for more than 20 years. Hicks Baker acted as our agent in the purchase, subsequent development, and letting of our local shopping centre. They have been our managing agents since the 90s, and have provided a consistently very high standard level of advice and engagement throughout this period. Recently, they provided a service in respect of the sale of a piece of our property, we couldn’t have asked for a better outcome.
We would unreservedly recommend them as commercial property agents for their across the board set of property services.”

Search, Acquisition & Relocation
In a landlord’s market the need for professional support is essential. Even in an ‘occupiers market’ there is plenty to be gained by taking professional advice when relocating and acquiring new property, to ensure you are not paying too much or otherwise accepting undesirable terms.
Our integration within the market provides you with insight and access to emerging and off-market opportunities, enabling you to be better informed and empowering us to negotiate the best and most appropriate terms.
In addition, we have the expertise in house to undertake building surveys and schedules of condition so as to minimise your repairing obligations and other liabilities both during and at the end of the lease.
“What looked like a straightforward job had complications which Hicks Baker sorted out and kep on top of liaising with all parties. Top marks.”
