Primmer Olds B.A.S

What Primmer Olds B.A.S does

Primmer Olds B.A.S, now operating as Mava Real Estate, is an independent UK property services firm headquartered in Chandler's Ford, Hampshire, with a second office in Wimborne, Dorset. Founded in 1987, the firm provides three interconnected service pillars: Advisory (valuations, lease advisory, and building consultancy delivered by RICS Regulated Chartered Surveyors), Property Management (commercial management under the main brand and residential management under the Mava Living sub-brand), and Agency (property search, sales and lettings, investment and development advisory, and occupier acquisition). The offering covers the full property lifecycle from development through asset management and lettings to valuation and regeneration, with services accessed via direct contact, an online property search tool, and physical offices.

The firm monetizes through four revenue streams: recurring managed-services fees for commercial and residential property management, transaction-based commissions on sales and lettings, professional advisory fees for RICS-regulated surveying work, and fees on investment and development advisory mandates. It serves a mix of private clients, property investment companies, and business occupiers across Hampshire and Dorset, with named long-tenured enterprise clients including Clydesdale Group, Cordage Group, DPJ/BHL Properties, Evolve Estates, and Beeton Edwards.

The go-to-market is enterprise field sales-led, relying on face-to-face consultations, property viewings, and ongoing advisory relationships, supplemented by an inbound digital channel (website, Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn) and a quarterly newsletter. The firm is privately held, founder- or management-owned, with no disclosed external investment, no subsidiaries, and no M&A activity. Headcount is in the 11-50 range, with core operating geography restricted to southern England.

Broad incumbents

• Knight Frank: Global real estate consultancy with substantial UK commercial agency, valuation, and property management operations. Comparable as a broader incumbent offering overlapping services (agency, advisory, management) but at materially larger scale and with a wider geographic footprint than Mava.
• Savills: Global real estate services firm with deep UK commercial property agency, valuation, lease advisory, and property management practices. Overlaps with Mava across the same service pillars but operates globally and competes for larger mandates.
• Cushman & Wakefield: Global commercial real estate services firm with significant UK operations across agency, valuation, and property management. Overlaps with Mava's commercial agency and advisory services as a much larger, globally scaled incumbent.
• CBRE: World's largest commercial real estate services firm, offering agency, valuation, advisory, and property management. Comparable as a broad incumbent competing for the same commercial mandates that Mava's regional clients require, especially at the larger end.

Direct peers

• Vail Williams: UK regional commercial property consultancy offering agency, property management, building consultancy, and valuation services across the South of England. Highly comparable to Mava in service mix, regional focus, and RICS-regulated chartered surveyor positioning.
• Lambert Smith Hampton: UK commercial real estate consultancy delivering agency, property management, valuation, and building consultancy services. Comparable to Mava across the full property lifecycle with broader national coverage but similar service-line architecture.
• Bidwells: UK property consultancy with strong regional presence in the South and East, providing commercial agency, investment, property management, and advisory services. Directly comparable to Mava in service breadth and chartered surveyor-led model.
• Mellersh & Harding: Independent chartered surveyors and commercial property agency operating across the South East and Home Counties, providing agency, management, and professional services. Comparable to Mava as an independent, partner-led regional firm offering the same RICS-regulated service pillars.
• Holloway Iliffe & Mitchell: Independent South England commercial property agency providing sales, lettings, and investment services across Hampshire, Dorset, and the wider southern region. Closely comparable to Mava in regional focus, independent ownership, and commercial agency emphasis.

Regional players
