Acquisitions and Disposals

We assist a range of clients for a variety of asset types (i.e. office, retail and industrial) and purposes. We can advise tenants looking for new premises about lease terms and whether the proposed rent is in line with the market so that they are not over paying.

We can also assist with pre-acquisition services by technical due diligence reports through our in-house building surveying department, and by instructing Blackacre for several services we can be more efficient and cost effective than other firms.
