A new Midlands-based commercial real estate consultancy has launched in Birmingham, offering specialist advice on investment, leasing, and bespoke office solutions.
RP Capital is led by industry veterans Simon Robinson, a Midlands IPF Lifetime Award winner, and commercial agency specialist Julie Perks.
The firm draws on 50 years of combined experience in the Midlands property market and aims to provide practical, trusted guidance to occupiers, investors, and landlords. The launch follows both founders’ departure from BNP Paribas Real Estate in December 2025.
Simon Robinson, a former founding member of GBR and Head of Midlands and Southwest at BNP Paribas Real Estate, said: “I know the Midlands real estate market and its characteristics, and it excites me to jointly set up a new, niche business. There are plenty of property specialists operating within the region, but we believe our combined experience and reputation provide a strong platform.
“Birmingham has always been a dynamic commercial property market, and far from launching from a standing start, we have secured a number of leasing mandates throughout Birmingham, Edgbaston and Solihull. RP Capital will operate from the city’s CBD, having taken space at 126 Colmore Row, so we will be right at the heart of the action.”
Julie Perks, who spent more than 15 years at BNP Paribas Real Estate said: “The UK property market has been subject to some extraordinary challenges over the past five years, including the pandemic and geopolitical changes, but the Birmingham market has remained resilient with strong demand from occupiers.
“Simon and I pride ourselves on our insight, expertise and clarity, and that will be at the core of what RP Capital stands for. Our clients can depend on us for bespoke advice and practical solutions as we work with them to identify the right opportunities, create tailored solutions to their needs and support them through complex decisions.”
