The partnership charter

What a partnership with us gives you

In short

The Walter Taylor Partnership Charter is our public set of commitments to the businesses we lease to: we reinvest in the building, run fair and transparent rent reviews, give real long-term tenure, grow with you into your next premises, deal with you directly, and keep things in confidence.

These are the commitments we put in writing — the things that turn a lease into a genuine, long-term partnership.

Six commitments

What we hold ourselves to

We reinvest in the asset

Planned capex over the hold — not deferred maintenance dressed up as a budget. We own the building for the long term, so keeping it good is keeping our own house in order.

Fair, transparent rent reviews

Market-based and clearly evidenced. No ratchet games, no opportunistic spikes, no surprises. You'll always understand how a review number was reached.

Real tenure

Long leases and genuine renewal certainty. We're here for decades, which means you can plan, invest and hire against a premises you can rely on.

We grow with you

Outgrow the building and we'll find or build your next one and move you across the portfolio. The relationship is the asset — not any single lease.

Direct and decisive

One relationship, with the owner. Our capital is largely our own and there's no investment committee, so we can move at the pace of your business.

Discreet, in confidence

Especially for sale and leaseback. We deal with you directly and privately — no campaign, no signboard, nothing public unless you want it to be.

Questions about the partnership

Is this charter actually binding?

It's a public statement of how we operate, and we expect to be held to it. The specifics — lease length, review mechanism, responsibilities — are then written into your actual lease, agreed with you up front.

What makes you different from an institutional landlord?

Size and structure. We deal directly with one owner, our capital is largely our own, and there's no committee — so decisions are fast and the relationship is personal. We operate at a scale the big funds ignore.

What happens when we outgrow the building?

We find or build your next one and move you across the portfolio. Outgrowing your premises should be a conversation with your landlord, not a reason to leave them.
