…generally acknowledged as a respected leading expert in leasehold valuations, rent reviews and strategic advice in both office and retail sectors…I am very happy to recommend them to any potential clients.
Dwyer Lynch & Co act in a dedicated and professional manner and demonstrate their understanding and experience of the rent review process. They also display a good knowledge of relevant case law and legal precedents as well as the intricacies of valuing premises under a lease.
It is clear to us that Dwyer Lynch & Co set themselves very high standards to maintain in professionalism, ethical practices and accepting responsibility to protect a client’s interests. Their reputation as experts in the field of landlord & tenant valuations and tenancy administration is well deserved.
I would not say that Dwyer Lynch & Co were the best in class for rent review services – but they have to be in the top one.
They always strive for the very best interests for their clients and their work has never failed to be impressive…they are true specialists in handling commercial rent reviews and tenancy administration matters. When professional advice is needed on tenancy matters, they are the experts whom I look for and whom I can fully rely upon.
Market gossip has it that Dwyer Lynch & Co have never lost a case. When I asked about this they simply shrugged their shoulders and said that rent reviews were not about one side winning but about uncovering the truth and getting the correct market rent. I think this sums up Dwyer Lynch & Co.
Dwyer Lynch & Co was known to our company as surveyors who specialise in acting on behalf of Hong Kong landlords in problematic rent reviews or dispute resolution matters. We were very pleased with their services and are happy to recommend them as specialists in their field. In our particular case, the technical framework of the case was quickly mastered, an advantageous negotiation position was rapidly attained and a satisfactory new rental agreed within a short time.
Dwyer Lynch & Co are very experienced chartered surveyors in Hong Kong and their professionalism was shown in the course of handling rent reviews for us. Their technical valuation skills, together with their comprehensive market knowledge, assisted us to achieve good results in rent review negotiations with tenants. I would recommend them as experts in the field of valuation and rent reviews.
Dwyer Lynch & Co distill and concentrate not merely a penetratingly thorough awareness of the workings of the market, but also – critically important in these fast-moving times – an astute perception of the way the market is moving. I would not recommend anyone else: they are the ones to have on your side.
From start to finish Simon and his team were outstanding. Their database, legal knowledge and sound honest advice were fundamental in our rent review process. We found ourselves at a stalemate and Simon guided all of us to an amicable solution. I would go so far as to say Simon is the most impressive property professional l have worked with.
I have worked both with and against Dwyer Lynch & Co on many leasing transactions and rent review disputes over the last 15 years in Hong Kong and Singapore. Their market knowledge, strategic approach and understanding of case law and its implication on valuation and the dispute resolution process are exceptional. As a consequence, they have carved for themselves a unique position in the market for landlord consultancy services.
Dwyer Lynch & Co were well versed in what was required of them as an expert witness and (importantly) it was a pleasure to work with him.
I know Dwyer Lynch & Co through my direct dealings with them over the years. From what I have experienced and form what I have heard from other professionals in Hong Kong, they are acknowledged ‘Experts’ in the real sense of the word. I value their opinion, not just as formal Expert Witnesses, but also in their related function as ‘Advisers’ in cases. They have a sounder grasp of legal matters than is usual for surveyors and this helps them (and us) get to the heart of the issues where the case involved property.
Dwyer Lynch & Co helped Shanghai Tang significantly reduce our flagship store and head office rents and we found them to be a very straightforward and frankly speaking professional company. We believe that Dwyer Lynch & Co have done a tremendous job in negotiating on our behalf. They demonstrated a very thorough understanding of the retail rental market and, more importantly, gave excellent strategic advice in negotiating the deals.
Dwyer Lynch & Co were retained on an annual basis by Pret a Manger. The team at Dwyer Lynch work very closely with our team giving us professional and trustworthy advice, ensuring they always have our best interests at heart. They have become part of the Pret team, they are a team of people whom we can trust, a team offering expert independent quality advice, a team that is honest and reliable. It’s not easy to find a group of people who understand what is important to a company or appreciate how important the Culture of a company is when looking for new opportunities: Dwyer Lynch & Co just get us.
Working with Dwyer Lynch & Co is refreshingly different. You get honest and valuable feedback about the state of the market, whilst their network of contacts opens up opportunities with landlords who might otherwise be difficult to work with.
