Managing surplus property
Event summary
The pandemic has changed our world irrevocably, with one of the major impacts being to our working lives. Employers across both the public and private sectors are carrying out reviews of their property assets, with the former driven by a further period of austerity as the government grapples with the high level of debt left in the wake of COVID-19. Our guest presenters will share real-world examples of surplus public sector property management that has generated added value over and above what could have been achieved through traditional approaches.

About this event
For asset managers this will result in a significant proportion of office and other property being declared surplus to requirements. The management of surplus property on a much bigger scale will be a growing challenge and the need for greater revenue savings and the maximisation of capital receipts to repay debt or invest in low carbon green growth has never been greater.
How do we decide whether property should be retained, re-used or declared surplus? And how does a decision to declare property surplus for disposal affect it’s valuation on the balance sheet? How should the growing list of surplus properties be managed? What happens to it while it is vacant and what should our disposal strategy be to maximise capital receipts, revenue savings, social and economic value?
Who should attend?
This course is aimed at directors, heads of service and asset managers involved in the planning and management of public sector land and property assets. It will also benefit those involved in the use of public sector property for regeneration or housing purposes.
How will I benefit from attending?
The webinar will take you through the process of asset challenge to the declaration of surplus, as well as the various strategies for alternative use and disposal. Along with an update on the latest developments you will gain practical tools and guidance for you to apply to your organisation.
