Two of the most experienced commercial property specialists in the region have joined forces to launch Baker Harman, a Northamptonshire-based agency that has quickly positioned itself at the forefront of the regional market.
Chartered Surveyors Richard Baker and Ian Harman started trading as Baker Harman in April 2026 and continue to offer specialist advice to occupiers, investors and developers across the Midlands.
Richard, Ian and their team offer industry knowledge spanning several decades, combined with a hands-on approach to commercial property consultancy, agency and development advice.
Operating from offices in Northampton, Baker Harman focuses primarily on industrial, logistics, warehouse, office and development property and are currently marketing more than 2.2 million square feet of space. The agency was established to offer a highly experienced and client-focused alternative within the regional commercial property market, drawing on the founders’ extensive track records and long-standing relationships throughout the Midlands.
“We officially launched in April after building a wealth of experience in the property sector both locally and nationally,” said Richard. “With the tricky economic conditions, the services of experienced professionals ensure businesses, landlords, investors and developers get the strategic property advice and secure the best possible terms.
“Between us, Ian and I have vast expertise in agency and investment, which gives clients access to the detailed market knowledge and practical advice they are looking for to maximise property values and achieve their business objectives.”
Ian Harman has built a reputation for his specialist knowledge in landlord and tenant matters, lease advisory services, strategic land assembly and commercial development. His experience includes countless complex development projects, negotiations and consultancy assignments, helping landowners and developers navigate every stage of the property lifecycle.
Baker Harman provides a comprehensive range of services including sales, lettings and acquisitions, representing landlords, tenants, purchasers and occupiers looking to secure property opportunities. The team also advises investors on acquisition and disposal strategies, helping identify opportunities to enhance returns and build long-term value within a property portfolio.
Ian Harman added: “Commercial leases can involve complex negotiations and ongoing obligations, and we can assist landlords and tenants in matters such as rent reviews, lease renewals and wider consultancy. This enables them to make informed decisions while at the same time protecting their commercial interests”.
“We also work with both landowners and developers from the earliest stages of site identification and land assembly through to development delivery and disposal. And being an agency that is involved in major commercial development schemes across the Midlands means we can give clients valuable insight into market demand, occupier requirements and the viability of new developments.”
