CoStar Suite case study: Agency

Without CoStar Suite we would spend a lot more time on non-revenue generative activities

Company

Cert Property

Cert Property is a property developments and investment consultancy, focusing on the Manchester market. Their services range from advising clients on acquisition to development and asset management and finally disposal of property within the residential, commercial and student accommodation sectors.

“Quickly and easily put our fingers on comparables”

“CoStar Suite helps us keep ahead of changing markets” For us, CoStar Suite is the main tool: most of the data that we need is contained there. It’s easy to use and it doesn’t take much to get a member of staff up to speed with it. With the market changing so rapidly, the live data available on CoStar helps keep ahead of the markets, in terms of looking at what buildings, what vacancies are coming. Then, there’s a potential to speak to owners, if it’s going vacant for sale.

The way we use the product depends on what the requirements of the day is. Putting it into more context, if a client approaches us and wants to invest into Manchester, we’re typically given some guidelines for what they want to invest into, and we can very quickly and easily pull up matching criteria through CoStar and the software. Whether it be lot size or vacancy or whatever it may be. It helps us find an asset for a client, if a client comes to us and asks us to lease a property for them.

We can also very quickly and easily access the comparables for rentals for that property in the market at that given time. Nothing is ever 100% accurate, but in terms of being able to put your fingers on resources and data, it’s as accurate as you’re going to want and need for real-time decision making. Analytics is also great. With CoStar market reports, you can quickly and easily put data into a form that is easy for an investor to assimilate. These are just some of the ways we use the software.

Without it, we would spend a lot more time making phone calls

“ In every aspect, there’s a gain to be had by using CoStar”

Without using CoStar Suite I think we would spend a lot more time making phone calls, or doing things that we aren’t particularly valued for. Whereas with CoStar Suite we can pull all that data together very quickly and use our time on more valued things like getting deals actually done.

In every aspect, there’s a gain to be had by using CoStar. Whether it’s comparables or whether it’s trying to find a new opportunity. In one word, it’s about efficiency. Efficient use of time. An efficient use of data.
