Most multi-site occupiers are overpaying by 6–18% across their estate. Canvus finds it, maps it, and drives the savings — without the overhead of an in-house CRE team.
Managing 10–50 leased locations without dedicated CRE resource means critical decisions get made reactively, expensively, and without independent advice.
Canvus is your impartial CRE operating partner. We sit exclusively on the occupier side — never acting for landlords — at a fraction of the true cost of an in-house hire.
A senior CRE Director costs £133,000–£186,000 in year one — salary, employer NIC, pension, private health, and a recruitment fee before they've opened a single lease. Canvus Essential starts at £36,000/year, with no on-costs, no notice period, and immediate deployment.
A structured three-stage process that turns your lease estate into a managed strategic asset — with measurable savings at every stage.
We audit your full lease estate — expiry heatmap, cost benchmarking, utilisation data, and break option mapping. Every site, every obligation, clearly visible for the first time.
We model your options. Stay, consolidate, renegotiate, exit. Each scenario is costed, prioritised, and presented in a CFO-ready format. You decide with full information — not agent pressure.
We manage the process end-to-end — landlord negotiations, agent oversight, and lease re-gears. Where specialist delivery is required (dilapidations surveying, legal counsel, rating agents), we brief, manage, and hold the right partners to account on your behalf. Savings are realised, not just modelled.
Each tier is a fixed monthly retainer covering strategy, execution support, and ongoing advisory. No transaction fees, no agent commissions. Impartial by design.
"Canvus coordinated a complex tri-party transaction on a Grade I Listed building in the City — landlord, legal, and our internal property and finance teams — delivering completion in a timeframe that most advisors would have considered impossible. Jonathan's knowledge, impartiality, and stakeholder management proved critical to achieving both our operational timeline and longer-term property objectives."
"Canvus brought genuine rigour to our portfolio — strategic lease management across 18 sites, scenario modelling that gave our board real options, and financial reporting our CFO could act on. Their market analysis was sharper than anything our agents provided, and the cross-functional coordination meant our property, HR, and finance teams were finally aligned. An invaluable operating partner."
