Research & other services
RealService has developed a reputation for conducting – and funding – powerful industry research.

If you have a project you would like to research, we have the capability to help you, as you can see below.
Case study: British Council for Offices – The Research Trilogy
RealService has conducted three major pieces of research for the British Council for Offices:
-
-
-
-
-
- Building Performance: Rethinking the relationship between owners, managers and occupiers (2015)
- Guide to Office Service Standards (2017)
- The Customer Experience Revolution: Closing the Skills Gap (2019)
In addition, we completed a best-practice guide Creating Outstanding Customer Experience in Shopping Centres (2012) for the BCSC (now Revo).
The Loyalty bonus
In 2017, RealService part-funded doctoral research carried out by Dr Danielle Sanderson in which she discovered a “loyalty bonus” for property companies who could improve their occupier satisfaction ratings by one point on a five-point scale. Read more about her research here.
RSTalk Scorecard
We have undertaken regular research into 50 major property companies / landed estates / REITs to discover how they use the language of customer experience in their published documents.
Return on Experience
We are conducting joint research with our partners at Experience Makers to produce a tool which will measure ROX, the return on experience. Our prototype ROX Scorecard was presented to a wide audience of property professionals at our annual RealService / GRESB CX seminar. You can read more here.
