WHO ARE WE?
Our Difference • Our Independence • Experienced and Local • Our Directors • Our People • Our Full Circle Approach • Our Award Winning Team • Our Attitude
Same isn’t a great formula for the best results. Or for life. If you’re doing the same thing and expecting a different result, you’re bound to be disappointed. So, the saying goes. In fact, in today’s market, the result could easily be worse. Aston Commercial is a different type of agent. A difference shaped by our history as a trusted generational advisor – and our commitment to embracing change. We do our homework first and talk second. We approach the market with imagination and flair that’s firmly anchored in experience — then work hard. Success then becomes a logical outcome, not a fortunate windfall.

MARKET UPDATE
Current Mood... Whilst still cautious we are seeing buyer enquiry grow week on week. There is still a significant pool of money looking for a home with demand currently outweighing available stock. Liam Rafferty Senior Sales Executive
There are some opportunistic tenants in the market place looking for a more affordable home. Although we have seen larger commercial floorplate enquiry drop there has still been strong demand for more smaller to mid-range size commercial spaces. Brendan Burmistrow Senior Leasing Executive, Associate

• The retail sector will see vacancies rise. • Vacancy periods averaged 5.5 months for our leasing stock – expect this average to increase to about 8-9 months. • Retail tenancies may need to be re-aligned to an office, service retail or in the extreme, residential use. • The office sector will see businesses re-assess their space needs immediately due to flexible arrangements with employees working remotely. The goal will be to maintain productivity and reduce occupancy cost overheads. • The industrial sector will be the least impacted. • Specialist sectors (those considered ‘essential’) such as service stations, medical/pharmacy, liquor, supermarkets, and childcare should rebound considerably better without necessarily performing at the same levels as pre-COVID19. The good news is that while enquiry is lower than normal it is starting to flow through again. As business realigns its strategies and the way commercial space is used as we move into this new world property owners need to be ready. Be up to date with current legislation, make amendments to leases that accommodate any lease negotiations and stay in touch with current trends. Buckle up, it is going to be an exciting ride. I am sure we will look back at this time in the near future and reflect on exactly how unique the experience has been. Jeremy Gruzewski Director of Agency
