Commercial Property

Buying and selling commercial property

We have much experience in buying and selling Commercial Properties (whether at auction or by private treaty, some of the largest in terms of properties or value being

• £2.2m office and retail building in High Holborn bought and then resold within the year for £2.7m.
• 66 Food Stores bought from Gateway and sold on
• 95 Martin's Newsagents bought from Martins and sold mainly individually
• £15m portfolio of investments bought from British Land and resold to Heron
• Several Industrial estates purchased, "cleaned up" and resold

Funding

Over the decades,  we have seen (in succession) lenders from Japan, USA,  Scandinavia, Germany,  Oil -Producing countries and more latterly Russia and China  invest money in UK property

In each case, the client has wanted a clear explanation of the security documentation involved and, very often, a re negotiation of terms

Investment

Different considerations apply, if the property is to be held long term for investment rather than for dealing purposes 

 We know very well the considerations of clients when making the appropriate decisions. 

Many of our clients prefer to have their pension (or at least part of it) in such a property or properties, rather than allow others to manage (or mis-manage)  the Stock Market for them
