How do we do it?
What makes us so successful at something that many can’t even conceptualize.
The Eye
Simply put, we see and deliver potential where others can’t because of our expertise and because we think differently. We spot values in the retail assets, even in the current market, that others fail to spot making us completely different.
The Team
What we deliver can only be achieved if we can work with just the best, for our projects. We work with several award-winning high-street specialist professional advisors, surveyors, planning consultants and design consultants.
The Design
High Street properties require designers with specialist eye for such spaces. Unlike new build vacant plots of land, such sites usually have existing value to them that need preserving and enhancing with a clever design.
The Planning
Like the design, High Street sites require specialist planning knowledge too. We are the high street planning experts with a special focus on PD rights and also work with specialist planners making us an expert in this field.
The Retail
We have a strong investment knowledge and deep experience with high street and retail property market. Additionally, we work with some of the best advisors in the industry to advise us enabling us to be the best at what we do.
The Proposal
This unique blend of an expert eye, high street proficient team, specialist designers and planners puts us in a niche position to offer/add the maximum possible value for site owners and the best and safest returns to our investors.
Who are we?
We are the high street add value experts.
Our passion is transforming high street assets in a way that most others cannot even conceptualize and bringing them to the use of local and national economy, communities and societies. We work in this niche due to our specialist knowledge of this sector and the vast potential of creativity it offers.
Veer Properties, a specialist high street investment and asset management company, was found by Priya Darshan (PD) Malik in 2018 to address the growing need of repurposing retail and town centre properties. PD Malik has over 20 years of international property experience and has a sizeable personal portfolio of commercial, residential and development land. We have a proven track record of being creative and adding significant value to our projects.
For instance, for our Kenilworth, Warwickshire, The Old Bank Project, we were one of the first ones to file a Retail to Residential PDR application to create 3 smart apartments in just over a 1000 sqft first floor area of a former bank. Now these apartments are popular amongst young renters and command a premium rental. The ground floor is now one of the most loved independent coffee shops of the town too.
Our Horley, West Sussex asset consists of an existing a retail unit with rear store and first floor 3 bed large apartment. Here, we are agreeing a reversionary lease with the commercial tenant for the ground floor only and to take the first floor flat out of their existing lease. In addition, we have also got planning permission for 5 new flats in this high property value area adding a significant value to this asset.
Site Owners
The various collaborative ways of helping site owners to maximize your asset’s value.
Performance Assessment
01
- We can do a free performance assessment of your high street/retail assets and advise you on how to extract the maximum value out of your sites, using our high street add value expertise. We differ from others siloed advisors (like architects, planners or commercial surveyors etc.) in the sense that we undertake a comprehensive and overall analysis of an asset and tune all its part to ensure that jointly, an asset is optimized to give the best value possible.
Collaborations
02
- Depending on your specific requirements, we can work with you to improve your assets performance in a way that best suits you. In most cases, if you already own the site then you would usually carry on with the ownership, if you want to, while we are fine tuning your assets performance usually at our own cost risk. We can also help towards your outgoings (business rates etc.) in some cases or in case of owner occupiers, consider a sale and leaseback.
Quick Cash Purchase
03
- Obviously in some cases, quick cash exit is the best solution and we totally appreciate that too. Our expertise puts us in a position to put forward the best possible offer for the right sites. Since we can extract the best value from high street assets that means we can offer you the best cash for such sites too. Just give us a call to discuss your particular situation and we’ll do our best possible to work out a solution, that is best suited to you.
Other ways to help
