Relocation information: the property agent’s view
Abstract
Summarises the results of a survey of major property agents in Scotland, regarding the professionals’ views of the methods adopted and the quality of information supplied by small and medium‐sized organisations to procure space. This survey confirms the view that property is not clearly understood by the business community and that there is a tendency for such businesses to be defensive when questioned on their specific property needs. It further confirms that spatial quantification is neither well‐considered nor understood and that the property agent has little confidence in the stated requirements. The agent also seems reluctant to introduce tools to the business to better understand and communicate these requirements. The agent considers that the property information supplied by business is of poor quality and that the person responsible for such procurement within business is, predominantly, not at a high level of seniority.
