I had a fantastic experience with Tom at Bear Associates. He accurately valued our commercial unit in Cheltenham and made a bold statement saying he would let the unit within 2-3 weeks. Upon us instructing him, he prepared the marketing materials immediately and contacted his wealth of existing contacts and booked several viewings right away. The end result was that we got a fantastic tenant, all signed up and deposit paid within 1 week of marketing. An amazing result and Tom was true to his word. If you are looking to sell or let your commercial/ mixed use property in Cheltenham and surrounding areas, you must contact Tom Wiseman and his team at Bear Associates. No nonsense, pragmatic, knowledgeable, professional yet proactive approach all around. We couldn't be happier with the result. Jakub and the Fortuna Property Portfolio team

After a miserable experience with another surveyor in Cheltenham, I was apprehensive to go through it again but Tom was absolutely excellent, very quick to reply to inquiries, answered every question and made the process of leasing a unit a breeze.

I am taking this opportunity of commending the professional services of Tom Wiseman.
Following vacant possession of my offices in the above, I sought advice on current market rents and tenant availability.
Swift responses to these questions enabled a letter of appointment to be issued.
Inspections by a number of tenants led to heads of terms within four weeks of this instruction, enabling Willan's solicitors to achieve between the 2nd July 2025 occupation of the unit by 1st August 2025.
Grateful thanks to Tom Wiseman for this excellent professional performance in achieving the above.

Tom’s been so helpful with getting us the exact space our business needs, a few times. I’m not sure how but he seems to know about these places way before the rest of the agents.
Tom also looks out for the landlords and tenants throughout the tenancy in equal measure from our experience.

Tom is highly knowledgable in his profession and would recommend him to anybody requiring a surveyor. He is an honest, kind man with the utmost integrity - he has shown his tender heart in dealing with the estate of a loved one.

Tom sold a large industrial building for us having been asked to market the property for us 18 months after a large national began the process. Tom proved highly effective at generating interest in the property from a variety of different sources, was very tenacious throughout, securing a deal and driving through to a completed sale in good time. Tom operates with total integrity at all times, I would highly recommend him and the services of Bear Associates.

Tom at Bear Associates came into my life following the death of a very dear friend, he has helped in selling the properties in relation to my friends estate, he has sold 12 properties to date and is currently dealing with others.
Over the past 12 months Tom had treated my family with the greatest care and compassion at a very difficult time for us all.
He has helped and guided us through shark infested waters.
He is the most honest, reliable person I have met in a very long time. Always full of energy and enthusiasm with a smile on his face he is a pleasure to deal with and gets the job done quickly and efficiently 1 would and have recommended him 110%.
Thank you Tom. .

I have never had any dealings with selling a commercial property before and so after some research online I stumbled across Bear Associates. How glad I am that I did. Tom has been amazing throughout the whole selling process and was on hand to answer any questions I had - and there were many!
He has been very thorough and always been there to help me during every step. I would highly recommend Bear Associates and am extremely grateful for his help and professionalism.

We dealt with Bear Associates taking over an office lease mid lease. Tom was very helpful and accommodating, and we managed to get the process sorted in a few weeks. He recommended a solicitor who was also very helpful.
We'd be happy to work with Bear Associates again.

Tom @ Bear Associates sold my fathers house in a very difficult market for a fair price, Tom was straight talking and to the point which left us with no doubt whatsoever he was doing the very best for us and for our interest. Tom was always available for questions and didn’t polish the answers which is what you want in the end, honesty, which we received without a doubt. Bear Associates will be my first port of call in future and would highly recommend them. Fantastic job from start to finish. Thank you Bear Associates

My Family and myself were in a very difficult position with a handful of properties to sell on my ill fathers behalf.
We approached Tom Wiseman as he was highly recommended. He didn’t disappoint, Tom took all the stress away from my mother who was busy enough caring for my father and the turn around on the properties was very fast. As we approached him early December 2022 with four properties to sell. As of April 2023, we’re only left with two which are nearly completed so his turnaround was excellent and he didn’t accept the first offer and always had our best interests at heart when accepting offers and wouldn’t let our properties go for “next to nothing”. He also kept us up to date and was very thorough with his work.
I’d personally recommend Tom everytime and I’d like to thank him massively for the stress he took away from us as a family and dealt with everything.
Thankyou Tom

I first dealt with Tom in April 2021, when he valued properties for probate valuation. When it was time to take the properties to market, I didn't hesitate in asking Tom to market both properties. Tom advised the best way to take properties to market, and in doing so obtained over the guide price for both properties. Through out the process Tom kept us updated and the whole process was dealt with efficiently.I highly recommend Tom!

We have had the pleasure of dealing with Tom Wiseman at Bear Associates over the last 6 years as tenants and buyers of commercial properties. His knowledge of the market in Cheltenham and the county is unparalleled. He is attentive in his dealings with us, and on one recent occasion even came out to us on site post-completion to attend to an emergency utilities issue. His long-established reputation in the sector is fully justified.

I asked Bear Associates (Tom Wiseman) to value and sell a commercial retail property for me. He quickly identified potential purchasers, arranged viewings, negotiated an offer, all within a very short period of time and then very professionally oversaw the whole process of the sale to its successful conclusion.
I cannot recommend Tom and Bear Associates highly enough. They set themselves high standards which they never failed to meet. .
