Real Estate

Public sector clients often require innovative solutions for their property requirements.  FFW’s real estate practice – one of the largest and most highly-regarded in the City – has established a strong reputation for both reliability and innovation.  Whether delivering Project ABI to the UK Passport Service, advising the Department for Education and Skills on the highly sensitive and commercially complex Aycliffe transaction or advising the Learning and Skills Council in connection with its programme of grant aid to local skills and employment initiatives, FFW’s understanding of the need to combine commercial good sense and sensitivity towards policy and presentation has ensured that it delivers a consistently excellent service to public sector clients.

The group advises on all property based transactions and estate management matters including property developments and investments, finance, acquisitions and disposals, joint ventures, the granting and taking of leases, rent reviews and portfolio management.  We have particular experience of dealing with bulk conveyancing transactions for clients disposing of a large number of surplus properties and are familiar with the structuring and application of clawback arrangements.
