Commercial
The necessity of managing a family portfolio combined with the devastation caused in the north west by the Foot and Mouth epidemic in 2000 brought about our increased interest in commercial affairs. This practice is interested in expanding its commercial links, but does not envisage significant involvement in urban conurbations. Market towns and villages is where our expertise has flowered, and we have long term interests in Clitheroe, Skipton, Settle, Kirkby Lonsdale and Kendal by way of example.
Our bread and butter is portfolio management, dealing with investment property in a positive and trustworthy manner. We endeavour to take the strain out of commercial investment, and therefore on a daily basis we undertake repairs, lettings, rent reviews, lease renewals as well as looking to extract additional value by improvement, extension or redevelopment.
Ad hoc instructions include records of condition, planning consents, planning enforcement proceedings and compulsory purchase. We have dealt with the following interesting commercial property projects in the past:
- Compulsory clearance of Pork Pie factory and relocation in Burnley
- Equestrian Centre development at Ormskirk
- Courtyard re-development to commercial space in Skipton
- Conversion of commercial space to 7 quality flats in Kirkby Lonsdale
- Telecom mast lease renewal
- Village Post Office lease renewal
- Letting redundant agricultural buildings for storage
Whilst we are able to provide honest and responsible involvement in our sphere of commercial property issues, we also have the contacts in place to ensure that most matters can be satisfactorily dealt with through our offices.
