Leading property consultancy experiences successful first year following merger

A leading property consultancy has experienced a successful first year following a major merger which created one of the largest providers of multi-disciplinary property services in the UK.

Fisher German and Matthews & Goodman joined forces last year, combining their 800 employees into a single firm which now trades under the Fisher German brand and has 28 offices nationwide.

Fisher German’s property management, consultancy and advisory services cover the full property spectrum.

This includes agribusiness, building consultancy, business rates, compensation, development, dispute resolution, geospatial data solutions, infrastructure consultancy, infrastructure management and maintenance, investment, lease advisory, leasehold enfranchisement, minerals, property agency, property management, planning, strategic asset management, telecoms and valuations.

The firm is also at the forefront of the ‘Green Property’ revolution and advises clients on everything from delivering net zero to carbon offsetting, green energy and sustainability to help them future-proof their property interests.

The merger has meant that the firm can now offer a wider range of specialist services and expanded expertise to clients, and this has already resulted in new instructions following referrals from within the business.

Its varied office network enables the firm to provide property advice across both urban and rural settings, with clients benefitting from a strong local knowledge combined with national capabilities.

Jonathan Young, associate partner at Fisher German, heads up the northern business rates team and said that the merger provides new opportunities for this area of the business.

He said: “The merger has put us in a unique position as we have been able to significantly expand the services that we can offer to our existing clients right across the business.

“Different specialisms can provide a fully integrated service which has resulted in various new instructions.

“In the business rates team, a particularly exciting element of the merger is Fisher German’s existing work with infrastructure clients.

“Infrastructure network assessments are a particular specialism within the sector, and we now have the opportunity to offer rating advice to these infrastructure clients if required.

“Our business rates team is already working with various utility companies, and it is an area which we are confident of developing further in the future as an addition to the full range of other rating services we already provide.”
