Lansley Commercial is an independent commercial agency specialising in small business sales and valuations. Based in Reading, Berkshire, Jason advises independent small business owners across the UK on preparing, valuing and selling their businesses. His approach focuses on understanding value from a buyer’s perspective, helping owners position their business realistically and attract serious purchasers. Jason is also the developer of Lansley Commercial’s Small Business Valuation Tool, designed to help independent business owners gain an early indication of what their business may be worth before going to market. With practical experience in negotiating business sales, he works closely with owners to guide them through the process with clarity and confidence.

Before entering the commercial property sector, Jason trained as a fully qualified chef and worked in prestigious international locations, including the renowned Cliveden House Hotel in Taplow. His entrepreneurial journey then saw him own and operate a successful café and catering business for over a decade, giving him first-hand insight into the challenges and opportunities facing small business owners. He has also served as a Director within other companies, gaining valuable expertise in negotiations, business operations, and client management. Combined with high grades in his Commercial Estate Agency examinations, Jason brings both strategic insight and practical commercial understanding to every instruction.

Lansley Commercial has a proud and long-standing heritage in the Reading property market. Jason took over the business from Brian Hayes, who ran A H Lansley for more than 50 years and built a reputation for honesty, consistency, and deep local knowledge. Under Jason’s leadership, the company continues this tradition, specialising in the sale of independent high street businesses, freehold commercial investments, mixed-use and development properties, and the letting of vacant commercial premises. Known for its personal, hands-on approach, the business ensures landlords and business owners receive dedicated support without restrictive long-term contracts.

Outside of work, Jason is a dedicated family man with three children. He is also a keen runner, having completed multiple marathons and ultra-marathons—demonstrating resilience, discipline and determination, qualities that underpin his approach to business and client service.
