What Harper Dennis Hobbs does

Harper Dennis Hobbs is a London-based retail property advisory firm founded in 1993, operating as part of Newmark's UK retail practice. The firm advises retailers, property companies, private investors, pension funds and leisure operators on the full lifecycle of retail real estate, with over 20 years of accumulated relationships in international retail markets and a track record of brokering more than £2 billion of London property in the last five years, including half of all buildings sold on Bond Street and a quarter of a million square feet of retail on Oxford Street.

The firm delivers a comprehensive platform of twelve interconnected professional services: Business Rates Advisory, Capital Markets, Consultancy & Analytics, Corporate Services (rent reviews, lease renewals, lease restructure), Occupier Agency, Leisure Advisory, Out of Town Retail, Project and Cost Management, Travel Retail, Planning & Development, Valuation & Advisory, and Lease Consultancy. These services span agency leasing, capital markets transactions, lease advisory, occupier representation, project delivery, travel retail consulting, and location strategy. UK-wide presence is anchored by London Retail and West End offices, supplemented by international alliances that enable cross-border retail strategies.

The revenue model is professional services with project-based pricing tied to transaction value, scope, and retainer arrangements, rather than software or subscription. The go-to-market is enterprise field sales targeting major retailers, property companies, investors and pension funds, supported by content-driven thought leadership through the corporate website, LinkedIn, and earned media coverage. No public pricing is disclosed. Customer segments are vertical-oriented: retailers (primary), property investors, and leisure operators, with pain points centred on high business rates costs, complex lease events, optimal location strategy, and retail property investment sourcing.
