Property Proprietors
Helping landlords reduce costs, activate empty units, and make space work - with trusted placements and purposeful partnerships.
At Fenton & Scott, we help landlords activate vacant commercial properties with purpose. Our service places vetted charities and socially focused businesses into empty units under short-term, flexible agreements that can reduce rates liability, generate income, and establish trustworthy occupancy.
Ethical
Fenton & Scott operates with integrity, transparency, and purpose. We vet every placement carefully, offer clear terms, and prioritise social value—ensuring landlords, charities, and businesses can trust the process from start to finish.
Effective & Trusted
We move quickly without cutting corners. Our streamlined process connects landlords with ready-to-occupy organisations, minimising delays and unlocking space efficiently—whether for rates relief, community use, or business growth.
Charity Placement
Placing a charity in a vacant unit can significantly reduce a landlord’s business rates liability while supporting vital community services. From youth programmes to outreach hubs, these occupiers bring life to empty properties—creating public good and financial benefit in one move.
Small Businesses
Small businesses are agile, creative, and deeply rooted in their communities. We help them access flexible, affordable premises to test ideas, grow sustainably, and contribute to local economies—because space shouldn’t be a barrier to ambition.
Corporate Social Responsability
Fenton & Scott enables landlords and businesses to align property decisions with social impact. By activating vacant space for charities and ethical enterprises, we help clients meet CSR goals—supporting inclusion, regeneration, and responsible use of the built environment.
Flexible Use, Trusted Tenants, Clear Returns
Rapid Placement, Real Results
We match vacant properties with suitable charities and social enterprises quickly and efficiently. Our streamlined process connects organisations actively seeking space, helping reduce void periods without delay.
Extensive Occupier Network
Our ready-to-place database includes vetted charities and impact-led businesses across sectors. These organisations are operationally prepared, purpose-driven, and keen to view and occupy as soon as suitable space becomes available.
End-to-End Support
We handle the placement process from start to finish—tenant sourcing, vetting, documentation, planning review, and ongoing communication. Landlords and agents benefit from reduced admin, clear oversight, and a smoother path to occupancy.
Rates Liability Transferred
When a charity signs the lease, they take on responsibility for business rates. Relief levels may vary, but the landlord’s liability ends at handover. It’s a compliant, cost-saving outcome for properties otherwise sitting idle.
Streamlined Placements, Happy Clients
Save Time, Deliver Results
We handle the sourcing, vetting, and documentation—so you don’t have to. Instead of chasing leads or managing uncertain occupiers, you get a ready-to-go solution that makes you look efficient and proactive.
Your Client Saves Thousands
When a charity takes on the lease, they become liable for business rates. Whether they qualify for full relief or not, the liability is off your client’s books. That’s a direct financial win—and you made it happen.
Professional Oversight, No Loose Ends
We liaise with you and your client throughout. From planning notes to lease support, we keep things tidy, compliant, and well-communicated. You stay informed, your client stays confident.
Flexible, Ethical Occupiers
Our database includes charities and small businesses that are low-impact, purpose-driven, and easy to work with. They’re not just filling space—they’re adding value
You Look Good
You helped your client reduce costs, activate space, and support social impact—all without adding hours to your workload. That’s smart agency work, and it reflects well on you.
