  • Address(es)

In addition, information in relation to amount of office space occupied, lease lengths, rents paid, incentives offered, and similar may also be held in relation to businesses in our geographical areas of operation.

Information may be gathered via our website where an enquiry has been made, via telephone call, in person, third party property portal (e.g. Rightmove) or other similar methods. Publicly available information such as company addresses, directors’ details, and company accounts may also be gathered and used for legitimate interests.

If any party would like their information removed from our database it can be requested and actioned within 72 hours.

How We Use the Information

Unless specifically requested otherwise, we will share company information, but not contact information, with Landlords of our properties and joint agents acting on behalf of the same Landlord for the purposes of making them aware of new, ongoing, and satisfied office requirements in the general market.

This is to understand occupier trends, demand, and competition in the market. We will use contact details for the purposes of responding to enquiries and keeping in touch with businesses and / or individuals who have made enquiries with us.

Where enquiries progress to viewings or specific interest is expressed in a particular property we will share further information, including contact details, with the relevant Landlords in order to progress with the requirement.

How We Share Information

Canning O’Neill will share personal and contact information linked to a specific enquiry with Landlords where prior consent has been given, either verbally, by use of a tick box on our website.

As an intermediary between Landlords and Tenants / potential Tenants, we will also share contact information on the grounds of legitimate interests with the Landlord of a specific property if information is requested on their property via our website, via telephone call, in person, via a third party property portal (e.g. Rightmove) or other similar method(s).
