Commercial Property Sale

Kate helped us sell a commercial property held in a SIPP. We had a brilliant experience from start to finish. She made the whole process seem straight forward and guided us through everything along the way. She was always available to answer any questions and kept us informed throughout. I wouldn't hesitate to use Kate again. and would happily recommend her.

Commercial lease

Pleased with the outcome. Although very lengthy process was kept in the loop and progress of proceedings. Due diligence was met with my best interests at heart. Legal jargon somewhat daunting to get through but Kate was always open for discussion and queries or explanations.

Purchase and lease of office properties

Kate Gillies and others from Forbes worked on the purchase and subsequent lease of an office property for our Pension Fund. Kate and her colleagues worked diligently and thoroughly throughout what was a process protracted by the slowness of response of other parties.

2 Leases, 1 Purchase, No Stress

This was not a simple transaction. We were vacating a business unit and moving into a newly purchased larger one (purchase managed by Forbes). We wanted to re-lease the one we were vacating. Sounds simple enough but both properties were owned within a Small Self Administered Pension Fund, with very slow and unresponsive Trustees. Thanks to Kate and her support team at Forbes the process went as well as it could.
