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.

Sale of commercial property in our SIPP

Kate was outstanding from start to finish in helping us sell a particularly challenging property within our SIPP. Her expertise in commercial property and clear understanding of the complexities involved with SIPP transactions gave us complete confidence throughout the process. She was very detail-oriented, and efficient, keeping all parties aligned to ensure the sale progressed smoothly. Communication was always clear and timely, and she consistently went the extra mile to protect our interests and help us. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Kate to anyone needing a knowledgeable, friendly and reliable commercial property lawyer. We are looking forward to working with Kate again on future property transactions.
