Mark is strong all round for what we required.

Chambers and Partners – Mark Carter

When a safety footwear business needed storage and warehousing to support its growth, they were able to find the expert advice across the real estate team to handle all the commercial property, construction, planning and regulatory issues linked to the storage units, including negotiations with national developers.

We were able to help them to acquire four large new build industrial units close to motorway access over eight years – three on a long leasehold and one on a medium-term lease. We handled the extensive documentations and the negotiations, providing a seamless service. Mark Carter and Laura Greenman both contributed.

The client said: “Many thanks for once again leading us through the labyrinth of acquiring the lease … every time I forget the complexities and pitfalls. But no matter what comes up, you resolve it, and do so fast enough to maintain momentum.

“The more we dabble in property the more I understand the value of true professionals on our side. Many thanks for another excellent result.”
