Holborn
+44 (0)20 3826 7523We provide a first class service on all aspects of investment transactions - acquisition, leasing, management and disposal of real estate investment assets.
Our specialist team advises on the sale and purchase of all kinds of property - commercial and residential and in all market sectors including office, industrial, retail and leisure.
Our clients, who may be UK-based or offshore, include listed companies, private companies, individuals, LLPs, trusts, funds and general partnerships.
We can advise on the most appropriate vehicle for the acquisition and the best way of structuring and financing the transaction. We offer a multi-disciplinary service and increasingly our transactions involve our corporate and commercial teams when creating the purchase vehicle, setting up joint ventures, partnerships and real estate funds.
Our real estate investment practice is increasingly international in scope. We have, for example, acted on over £175m of inward property deals over the last year for overseas private investors and on over £150m of other investment transactions

We are also noted for our approach. Clients describe Russell-Cooke's real estate team as "proactive and responsive, as well as imaginative in their approach to difficult situations" (Chambers & Partners 2011).
