Recent projects
- Ibstock Group – We advised Ibstock on the acquisition of a new London office. Their preference was a ground floor unit in Clerkenwell/Farringdon to provide a London base but also enabling them to showcase their products. The search brief was specific, however she managed to identify a few suitable properties and negotiated terms for the acquisition of a ground/lower ground floor unit on Hatton Garden.
- English UK – she advised English UK on the freehold disposal of 219 St John Street in Clerkenwell, EC1. We were the sole marketing agent, advising on all aspects of the sale from preparing the marketing material to analysing offers and overseeing the legal process to completion. She also undertook a comprehensive search to find an alternative office for the client to relocate to, advising on the purchase of a long leasehold office unit in Bermondsey, SE1.
- Arts Council England – she provided strategic advice on the potential relocation of their Manchester office ahead of a break clause. She negotiated terms and provided detailed advice and commentary on the lease structure and financial implications of a shortlist of potential relocation options, which was fundamental to the client’s decision-making process.
