“There was a lot of information we hadn't considered which was given to us in a clear way ”

Tupelo were incredibly knowledgeable and insightful in our property search. The diversity of the office spaces (lease/ flexi/ serviced etc) has been incredibly useful and allowed us gain valuable insight to the market and will be help us revise the specification and start from a much stronger position when we resume our search later this year. There was a lot of information we hadn't considered which was given to us in a clear way and helped us identify what it is we need.
