Real estate

Real estate is one of the fundamental building blocks of our economy which is why we're so passionate about the sector. Our team has a deep understanding of its importance to the health of our towns and cities and its impact on social capital and sustainability.

We know that owning and managing real estate brings with it a number of different financial considerations. At any given time you could be dealing with changes in government regulations and tax law, alongside managing market risks such as the availability of finance, compliance with lender covenants and valuation issues.

Specialist support for real estate and associated industries

We have extensive experience working with real estate companies, partnerships and property funds (including offshore structures), as well as other corporates, professional practices and not for profits who either own or occupy real estate, or operate in the sector. Whether you’re an architect or developer, occupier or investor, our sector specialists will work with you to navigate the complexities of the industry and provide a comprehensive, joined-up service.
