WKN, Ireland's leading independent multi-disciplinary property consultancy, is a "one stop shop" for clients who deal with the property industry.

We provide the full range of property advisory services required by government, businesses and owners of large property portfolios (charities included). We focus on optimising property holdings in terms of medium-term use and investment.

We are not auctioneers or estate agents, but rather concentrate on delivering strategic and practical advice to property owners, users and investors in return for a professional fee. Our expertise (whether technical or to do with valuation or the management of property and other assets) includes town planning, construction costing and research. We specialise in preparing Business Plans for property portfolios and advise NAMA and the private sector on the generation and analysis of options in the currently distressed Irish market.

We are Property Asset Managers and act for major property investors in acquiring portfolios in Ireland. We also act for banks in managing the assets underlying distressed loans.

WKN are founding members of the REITs Forum of which Bill Nowlan is the Chairman. 
The REITs Forum is a group of market participators who came together in January 2011 to promote the introduction of REITs to Ireland.  The Forum compiled, disseminated and advocated the compelling case for REITs to assist the recovery of our troubled property sector.
The Forum’s hard work culminated in the announcement in the 2013 Budget Speech that the 2013 Finance Act would include provisions to facilitate the introduction of REITs.

A major conference on this topic was held in the Convention Centre Dublin on January 24th with Bill Nowlan as its Chairman.
