Portfolio management

We have extensive experience in advising a variety of clients on all aspects of the successful management of property portfolios, with long-standing specialism in commercial and residential lettings, management of lease events, property litigation and construction.

We work closely with asset managers to assist with both long and short-term strategy, including advising on the structuring lettings and legal considerations around development projects. We also liaise on a day to day basis with property management teams in dealing with matters such as tenant consent applications, lease renewals, disputes and service charge issues.

Our clients own a diverse range of portfolio assets, from large multi-million pound prime Central London and West End office and retail locations through to various nationwide retail and industrial sites.

Clients value our focus on providing a great service, quick and efficient responses to instructions and our aim of working commercially as part of a collaborative team together with our clients and their other professional advisors.
