We like that Allsop’s student investment and valuation teams talk to each other. We use both teams and have hugely benefitted from their broad understanding of the different aspects of the student market. Some of our recent expansion has been a direct result of a targeted campaign to build exposure in a location.
Richard Stott, Managing Director, Kexgill
Allsop have advised the group for close to a decade, assisting on both disposals and acquisitions within the student sector. Allsop’s breath of services and sector specific knowledge has been invaluable to our business and its growth over the years.
