Starting 2026 with Recognition: Verity Wins Commercial Property Partnership of the Year

By Verity Commercial Services

As we enter 2026, we’re proud to share that Verity Commercial Services, in partnership with Faithful, was awarded Commercial Property Partnership of the Year at the Prestige Awards in December 2025.

The award recognises Verity’s specialist approach to managing vacant commercial property, reducing empty property costs, and delivering compliant, well-managed solutions that protect asset value — while also enabling meaningful community use through the Property for Good scheme.

A Proven Approach to Empty Property Management

Verity works with commercial landlords, developers, and asset managers nationwide to address one of the sector’s most persistent challenges: the cost and risk of vacancy.

Our approach enables clients to eliminate 100% of empty business rates through a proven, King’s Counsel-approved mitigation model — while ensuring properties remain:

• Compliant

• Secure

• Actively managed

• Protected for long-term performance

By combining expert rates mitigation with responsive facilities management, we help clients maintain control of vacant assets without compromising professional standards.

Extending Asset Strategy Through Property for Good

Through Verity’s partnership with Faithful, suitable properties registered with us can be enrolled into the Property for Good scheme.

This allows vacant commercial buildings to be:

• Used responsibly as short-term places of worship

• Maintained and monitored during periods of inactivity

• Returned to the market efficiently when required

For landlords, Property for Good is not an alternative to asset strategy — it is an extension of it, aligning financial efficiency with positive local impact.

What the Judges Recognised

The Prestige Awards judges highlighted:

• The significant financial relief delivered to landlords

• The high standards of professionalism, clarity, and integrity underpinning Verity’s work

• The strong blend of commercial expertise and innovative thinking

• The ability for vacant buildings to serve communities without increasing landlord risk

• Verity’s nationwide reach and responsive support for landlords under pressure

This recognition reinforces the value of combining technical expertise with practical, well-governed innovation.

Why This Matters in 2026

As we move further into 2026, the commercial property landscape continues to demand:

• Cost certainty

• Compliance confidence

• Flexible vacancy strategies

• Responsible asset stewardship

Verity’s model is designed for this environment — delivering clarity, control, and protection through every stage of vacancy, while enabling responsible occupation where appropriate.

Looking Ahead

Winning Commercial Property Partnership of the Year is an important milestone — but it reflects ongoing work, not a finished chapter.

In 2026, Verity remains focused on:

• Supporting landlords under increasing cost pressure

• Maintaining high operational and compliance standards

• Expanding responsible vacancy solutions nationwide

• Delivering measurable outcomes for clients and communities alike

We thank our clients, partners, and teams for their continued trust.

Here’s to a year of well-managed assets, informed strategy, and purposeful property.
