What CBGA LIMITED does

CBGA Limited is an independent commercial property investment advisory firm headquartered at 49 Welbeck Street, London, serving private and high-net-worth clients across the United Kingdom. The firm advises on the acquisition and disposal of commercial property assets — including office buildings, retail parks, trade counter investments, and warehouse investments — acting exclusively for vendors and purchasers rather than operating a technology platform or asset book. Its core service is senior-led, discretionary advisory work delivered directly by two chartered surveyors: founder Chris Adams (FRICS, formerly partner at Allsop & Co, joined from P&O) and Nick Richards (MRICS, also formerly partner at Allsop and Co, at the firm since 1996).

CBGA traces its lineage to 1988 when CrowsonBellman Gill Adams was founded on Dover Street, London W1; the business was renamed CBGA in 2001, merged with Robson Associates in 2013 to form CBGA Robson LLP, and in 2022 restructured back to CBGA Limited to focus purely on investment advisory. The firm does not operate proprietary technology, software products, or APIs; its value proposition rests on the principals' 30+ years of market experience, RICS-regulated professional standing, and reputation for discretion in serving investors who prefer to remain outside public deal processes. Documented transactions span UK locations including Kings Lynn, Uxbridge, Guildford, Staines, Thanet (Kent), Blackburn, Poole, and Poyle, with deal sizes ranging from approximately £1.2 million to £17.65 million in property value.

The business model is straightforward professional services revenue: CBGA earns advisory fees on a transaction-by-transaction basis from private clients seeking acquisition, disposal, or exit strategy advice on UK commercial property. The go-to-market is direct, senior-level engagement — no resellers, marketplaces, or third-party distribution channels are used — and the firm relies on established reputation and word-of-mouth referrals rather than paid marketing. The customer base is described exclusively as "private clients" with confidentiality deliberately positioned as a service feature, making customer-level revenue attribution effectively opaque. The firm has no disclosed external institutional shareholders, venture capital, or private equity backing, and is structured as a founder/partner-owned private limited company.
