Surveyor Mark Kelly has joined commercial property specialists Colliers International to strengthen its investment property management (IPM) team in Bristol.
Originally from Nailsea, Mark has spent the past four years with Bristol chartered surveyors Hartnell Taylor Cook.
He has experience of working for a wide variety of property experts ranging from institutional investors to private landlords.
Mark, who graduated with a first-class degree from the University of the West of England, will work alongside associate director Mike Bull with a number of top-drawer clients including Aviva, Gainwell Property and Colliers Capital.
Mark is particularly interested in sustainability in the commercial property market and believes there is a real danger that poor energy performance will begin to damage property investment value, something which he believes will become more evident over the next five years.
He said: “Sustainability continues to move up the agenda for property owners and it is essential that they are aware of the implications of the raft of legislation which is poised to bring the commercial property world into line with current environmental considerations.
“While we are still waiting for some clarity from Government over the implementation of legislation such as the Energy Act 2011, as with most areas of the green agenda, those who act early will likely be rewarded.”
