What we do

The Property team is responsible for a wide range of services, including: 

• finding new properties for the University to meet a demand for space that cannot be met within the existing portfolio;
• disposing of a property which is poorly utilised, uneconomical, or no longer meets the strategic needs of the University;
• managing the University’s lease renewals, rent reviews and break options;
• managing any other landlord and tenant matters, such as consent for making alterations, undertaking repairs, service charge management, and payment of rent and other lease costs;
• being involved throughout the life cycle of all the University’s asset portfolio and maintaining relationships with our internal and external stakeholders, our landlords, tenants and neighbours;
• enabling better long-term estate property management through our knowledge of the portfolio, experience in the Bristol property market and accurate information on our estate;
• working closely with the other teams within Campus Development - including Campus Planning, Capital Projects, and Sustainability - to deliver the University’s goals.
