The 80 transactional staff of Deloitte Real Estate are likely to split into different teams moving to different companies.
Although agreements have yet to be formalised, different teams are set to end up at new firms where they will be most valued.
Lambert Smith Hampton owner Countrywide had been competing most aggressively to take on the entire 80 staff and is still looking to take on some elements.
Agreements are due to be finalised between the staff and new companies imminently.
The teams break down into West End, City and national, each with leasing and investment elements. They include three partners – Stephen Peers, head of transactions and West End; Jamie Olley, head of City investment; and John Rodgers, head of national investments.
Deloitte launched a strategic review of the teams in February as a result of conflicts they faced in doing business as a result of being part of a big-four accountancy practice.
