Our focus is you
We understand the challenges that arise from ownership of multiple properties, whether as investors or occupiers. Our property asset management team work with clients to ensure their property is fully optimised as an asset to their business, whether through increasing profit, unlocking capital or reducing exposure to risk.
Our team of specialist property asset management lawyers offer a complete range of services to support the full life cycle of property ownership, from acquisition, throughout long term investment and disposal. We work with both investment landlords as well as commercial tenants and understand that some assignments will be highly complex and need to be partner-led, involving business critical issues. Conversely, there will be many transactions of a more routine nature where speed, efficiency and cost certainly will be crucial to your business.
Our specialist team can deliver the following services:
- Unit acquisition and disposal
- Portfolio acquisition and disposal
- Lease renewals
- Termination issues
- Planning and environmental
- Property management
- Dispute resolution
- Risk management
Our commercial real estate solicitors have offices in London and across the South East including Gatwick and Crawley, Hassocks, Horsham, Brighton and Guildford.
Please note that visits to our office is by appointment only. If you wish to contact one of our property asset management team you can do via our online enquiry form.
