Robert Pinkus

What Robert Pinkus does

Robert Pinkus & Co. LLP is an independent, privately-held limited liability partnership established in 1970 and headquartered at 1 Winckley Court, Chapel Street, Preston, United Kingdom. The firm operates as a full-service commercial property consultancy, advising on sales, lettings, acquisitions, investment, development, valuations, rent reviews, lease renewals, rating appeals, project management, and property management across the North West of England (Preston, Blackburn, Fylde, East/West/South Lancashire, Cumbria, Merseyside, Wyre). It is RICS-regulated and employs Chartered Surveyors holding MRICS and FRICS qualifications.

The firm generates revenue primarily through commissions on commercial property transactions and professional service fees for advisory work (valuation, rent review, rating appeals). Its go-to-market is sales-led and direct, with named enterprise clients including Booths, WCF, JD Group, Clarks, Barnfield Construction, Countryside Properties, Eric Wright Group, Barclays, HSBC, Santander, Lancashire County Council, NHS, Preston City Council, Chorley Council, Threadneedle Investments, Mapeley Estates, and William Pears Group. It also operates a digital property search platform powered by Agencypilot CRM, with virtual viewing and map-based search functionality enabling self-serve enquiries. Pricing is transaction-based and quote-driven, with property listing rents ranging from approximately £4,750 to £90,000 per annum exclusive.

The firm's technology stack is modest - a CRM and a property search website - and there is no evidence of proprietary technology, AI/ML capability, or product-led growth mechanics. Its competitive position rests on regional brand reputation (over 50 years operating history), RICS-regulated professional expertise, and embedded client relationships with regional enterprises and local authorities. Revenue and headcount are not publicly disclosed; the firm employs 11-50 people. It received a 2022 CoStar award for office deals in the Lancashire market and joined Preston Partnership in 2025.
