    What our clients think

    "…getting CoStar FOCUS was one of the main priorities"

    Justin Bailey
    Bailey Watkins Commercial Property Consultants

    "Being a newly set-up property practice we felt that getting CoStar FOCUS was one of the main priorities. The fact we can search for office availability all over London, and look at building history, enables us to give our clients up to date information, making our service to them invaluable. Focus is a very important part of our business and wholly fulfils its duty."

    "…an information partner we can depend on"

    Peter J Damesick
    Head of UK Research & Consulting
    CB Richard Ellis

    "We wanted to convey that we are delighted to continue to be a supporter of CoStar Group. We know CoStar has invested heavily in Research & Technology for several years here in the UK and has built a large, well-trained phone and field Research organization in the commercial real estate industry. We look forward to continuing to work with CoStar as a leading provider of commercial real estate information in the UK and an information partner we can depend on."

    "…a vital marketing tool"

    Stewart Arbuckle
    Surveyor
    Jones Lang Lasalle

    "The transparency that CoStar provides is apparent through the number of leads we recieve on a daily basis, making it a vital marketing tool for any commercial property professional."

    "…CoStar's research methods are very thorough"

    William Wynn-Williams
    Senior Surveyor
    Cannon Capital

    "Thank you for coming to the office and running us through all the recent improvements to the website. The training was very helpful and demonstrated new functions we will now use. The data has improved over the last 12 months and CoStar's research methods are very thorough. The retailer branch list service is of particular value!"

    "We have saved many hours of time…"

    Anthony Rowland
    Timothy Lea & Griffiths

    "Over the last year, we have used the service regularly as a research tool. We have saved many hours of professional time which would have been spent sourcing comparables. We have produced marketing reports, which have been provided to clients, and we have used the property search facility to investigate what properties are on the market in a given area. We regularly get pestered by the market researchers, which can be a pain at times, but it shows the dedication being given to sourcing market comparable information. This in turn reinforces the completeness of the site as a research tool."

    "…the information we get is timely and correct…"

    Rob Sutherland
    Senior Real Estate Analyst
    Oxford Properties Group

    "With CoStar FOCUS we know that the information we get is timely and correct. Not having to worry about the validity of our information allows us to focus our energies on our core activities of buying and managing commercial real estate."

    "FOCUS is used throughout our company…"

    Helen Collier
    Property Marketing co-ordinator
    Rapleys LLP

    "FOCUS is used throughout our company departments and it has been noted that there has been an expansion generally of the information available via the product in the last 12 months, including the London occupiers data set. I would recommend that you conduct the training in our other offices."

    "easily accessible information"

    Carol Heneghan
    Director of Marketing
    The New Swindon Company

    "I found the CoStar FOCUS site extremely user friendly, the training was succinct and the product will provide easily accessible information that will enable us to gain a good insight into the property market at micro and macro level. I look forward to working with CoStar and yourself in the future."
