Acquisitions

Property Acquisitions And Off Market Opportunities

• Investment analysis from a legal and commercial perspective to create opportunities and deliver outstanding returns.
• Taking the lead, managing transactions and effective negotiation.
• Sourcing fantastic off market investment opportunities.

We identified an office building let to a local authority at a low rent and on a lease in excess of ninety years. Acting on behalf of a consortium of investors, we arranged debt finance and negotiated the acquisition.

Eighteen months later, we commissioned a rent review report and instructed a leading QC to provide an opinion on the relevant provisions in the lease. This led to a 40% uplift in the rent and a consequential increase in the capital value.

We then negotiated a sale to the tenant at a substantial profit, giving the investors a 300% return on their equity.
