Local experts, nationwide experience
Derrick Wade Waters are leading real estate consultants in the South East and work across the UK, specialising in commercial property. We have successfully completed multiple projects for our clients, in markets as diverse as retail, leisure, office, industrial and warehousing.
We work with like-minded people who know that right answers only come when you ask the right questions. Our open and honest approach brings clarity and stability to the process and helps prevent overcomplicating things.
And like our clients, we never settle. We believe that staying still is the same as moving backwards. We have 50 years’ professional experience in this region but still we continue to ask ‘what next?’ Our team are proud to be plugged in to the local market and together we bring detailed insight and expert advice.
We provide commercial property sales, disposal, acquisition, valuation, management, building consulting and landlord & tenant services to occupiers and investors. Our solutions are always bespoke and creative and are designed to optimise each property’s performance.

Commercial property specialists
We believe change starts at home. That’s why everyone at Derrick Wade Waters is passionate about property and will help you take advantage of the massive opportunity that the commercial sector has to offer.
We’ve built a winning team of surveyors, consultants and experts to deliver all the services you need.
Just because it’s always been
done a certain way,
doesn’t make it the right way
Our team are committed to offer an alternative to the everyday property services you’re used to.
We believe that for too long clients have been left behind by identikit agents and surveyors who promise the world but deliver the same old run-of-the-mill answers.
Our head office, located on Harlow Innovation Park, is at the heart of the South East commercial property region. That means we’re able to give you expert advice and guidance on all matters within this flourishing area.
We’re passionate about what we do in the region and we know that success is based on better informed decisions through local insight.
We are leading chartered surveyors and property consultants for business parks, industrial space, warehouses, office space and other commercial property – because that’s been our focus for the last 50 years.
What’s the difference between
a problem and an opportunity?
It’s all a matter of perspective. When we first started in 1973, Central London was on its way up and the M4 corridor was moving at a hundred miles an hour. We were early identifiers of what we call the corridor of ‘Eastern Promise’ – and have continued to build our reputation through the promotion of this dynamic area, with ongoing commercial property development.
Fast forward to today and our reputation has spread further afield. Long term relationships have been built on trust, honesty and constant striving to do the best for our clients. This has resulted in Derrick Wade Waters now working on projects across the country, from Warrington to Wimbledon.
Partners, not customers
It’s not our service that’s unique. It’s the people that provide it. Our team of specialists will take the time to understand every client’s unique personal and professional requirements. And the better they know our clients, the better they can actively manage their commercial property needs.
If a deal isn’t right, we’ll speak up. If a client needs to hear something, but we know they won’t like it, we’ll still speak up. We build long-term relationships, and know that sometimes a fast ‘no’ counts more than a slow ‘yes.’
Spreadsheets don’t make our decisions for us. We treat every case on its merits, and invest in trust as much as deals. We’re always open to new information, and like to stay curious. So, while we base all our actions on robust data and insight, we never underestimate the human element.
We don’t follow trends; we set the agenda. Today’s always-on, 24/7, real-time, multi-channel world needs participators, not spectators. We stay plugged in to our industry – and culture at large – so we can best understand how to help our clients can stand out.
