Portfolio & Building Case Studies

We work with many different client’s types in a large range of sectors including residential, industrial, commercial and retail. Since our formation in 2009 our people have advised and worked on a range of property owned and operated by the likes of the John Lewis Partnership, Safestore and Taylor Wimpey but we are equally at home working with smaller clients and homeowners.
