Property – both commercial and residential
We act for a variety of commercial property clients both large and small, take care to understand their particular needs and aspirations.
The Property Department handles a broad spectrum of commercial property including acquisitions and disposals, leasing, investments and estate development, as well as providing day-to-day advice needed in portfolio management.
We also handle all types of residential property. We understand that buying and selling your home is so much more than a “routine” matter. We make sure that each buyer or seller is treated as a valued client, who sometimes needs not only guidance but quite often some comfort once their transaction gets under way. Communication is one of our strengths and we try to ensure that clients always know and understand what is happening.
