Manston, in the form of MD Tom-Boardman-Weston and Property Administrator Vicki Hall, were pleased to sit down with CoStar recently, to discuss how we make the best possible use out of their Commercial Property Platform.

Having adopted CoStar a number of years ago, it now forms a key part of the management of our portfolio, internal valuation processes, keeping abreast with developments in the broader CRE world and assisting with target acquisition and due-diligence. Perhaps the key areas where we have benefited most from using CoStar are:

• Clean, Comparable Data – Brought In-House

• More Strategic Conversations with Agents

• Broader Deal Sourcing Beyond Existing Networks

• More Confident Pricing and Underwriting

• Exploring New Sectors and Geographies

By combing our established agent relationships with the structured market-level intelligence of CoStar – we are well equipped move faster from initial opportunity to final decision, while remaining disciplined on underwriting and risk at a granular level.

As the business continues to optimise its portfolio, deploy capital, and expand into new sectors, CoStar will play an increasingly central role in shaping and executing strategy.
