Jonathan advises on all aspects of commercial property with a particular emphasis on acquisitions, disposals, secured lending, leasing (of retail, industrial, office and leisure premises) and the property aspects of corporate transactions.
He is a specialist in landlord and tenant matters and acts for a number of investor clients in relation to the property management of their extensive portfolios including tenancies and title reviews.
Jonathan regularly acts for landed estates owners and those with substantial land holdings advising on a broad range of matters including sales, leasing, easements, covenants and overage agreements.
He also enjoys dealing with the acquisition of small residential development sites and the setting up of the plot sale documentation. Jonathan also regularly deals with high value or complex residential property transactions and is therefore accredited under the Conveyancing Quality Scheme.
