Commercial Property

Almost every business, individual and syndicate has property requirements and for some organisations, property is your core business.  We service all such clients focusing on providing clear and timely commercial advice and becoming a friendly and trusted part of your team.

Our people have extensive experience of acting for landlords, investors, occupiers and banks.  This means we have an ability to understand each transaction from the perspective of all parties allowing us to focus on the most effective method of negotiation to secure your aims.

We also strive to innovate in the service we offer.  In addition, we ensure an up-to-date knowledge of market activity so that we can act as dealmakers and also so that we fully appreciate the conditions in which you operate.

Experience

Landlords and Investors

Providing both transactional and ongoing advice our aim is to assist you to manage and develop your property portfolio to your best advantage. We will use tools to increase efficiency wherever possible, for instance client specific precedents. We will also ensure good lines of communication are established with your agents and other relevant parties.

Main areas of advice:

• Advice on Acquisition and Funding
• Advice on Tax and Structures
• Portfolio Development and Management
• Advice on Strategic Disposals

Occupiers

For many occupiers property is not the core business and you are acquiring premises to allow you to perform and hopefully grow your core business. We aim to make each negotiation as pain free as possible. Our friendly team will get to know your objectives and then negotiate to secure them so that you can get on with the business at hand.

Banks

We act for many well known banks, offering secured lending advice in relation to Landlord & Tenant and development transactions.

We retain several high profile clients including the Premier League and Leeds United together with a host of regional and national clients of all shapes and sizes.
