Commercial Agents
Strengthen client relationships by bringing landlords a credible solution when voids are hurting value, marketing momentum and asset performance.
For agents, surveyors & advisors · one of four wins
Refer once. Earn on every cycle.
Of the four stakeholders gathered round an empty unit, advisors are the only ones who can move the conversation in any direction. Bring us in, keep your client relationship clean, and pick up a recurring 25% revenue share on every successful referral - not a one-off finder's fee.
Ideal for: commercial agents, surveyors, asset managers, insolvency practitioners, lenders, brokers and specialist consultants.
What you introduce: owners with empty offices, retail, industrial or mixed-use property facing rates exposure, compliance scrutiny or void-cost pressure.
Why it converts: the problem is expensive, urgent and measurable, and our proposition is already proven across 400+ UK properties.

Who This Is For
The strongest partners are already trusted by commercial property decision-makers. If clients ask you about empty rates, vacant property risk, or how to protect value during a void period, this programme was built for you.
Surveyors & Advisors
Offer clients a practical next step when rate liability, beneficial occupation strategy or vacant property positioning becomes a live issue.
Asset Managers & Lenders
Support owners with a commercially relevant intervention that can reduce holding costs while maintaining future letting flexibility.
Insolvency & Restructuring Specialists
Introduce VacatAd where vacant sites are creating cost drag, covenant pressure or a need for immediate, compliant operational action.
What Makes a Strong Referral
Not every introduction is equal. The best opportunities typically involve a genuine cost problem, a live vacancy issue, and a decision-maker who needs a compliant route forward rather than a speculative idea.
Vacant Offices & Retail
Units sitting empty after lease expiry, administration, relocation, downsizing or portfolio repositioning.
Industrial & Logistics Voids
Assets where holding costs are rising and owners want to preserve flexibility while reducing rates exposure.
Portfolio-Level Pressure
Funds, REITs, asset managers and property companies carrying multiple voids across a wider estate.
Advisory-Led Opportunities
Landlords asking brokers, surveyors, insolvency teams or lenders how to contain costs without reputational or compliance risk.

We have kept the process deliberately simple so you can introduce high-quality opportunities without creating admin for your team.

A Commercially Credible Offer

A Better Reason To Reconnect
For many advisors, this is a strong conversation starter with dormant clients, distressed situations, or portfolios under pressure.
