Charity Property Solicitors

Charities are subject to a specific set of regulations which must be observed and applied in all charity property transactions they are involved in.

We are on-hand to advise charity trustees on a variety of property-related matters, as follows:

• Asset management
• Buying, selling and letting of freehold and leasehold property
• Granting and surrendering of leases
• Charity property management

Charities are often approached by Developers, reviewing the potential of their land. We can offer a wide range of advice, regarding after-sale funding (overage provisions) to ensure that the charity gets the best out of the property at their disposal.

Careful consideration needs to be given to compliance with the Charities Act 2011. You will need to obtain and give effect to specific marketing advice, carefully consider all offers put forward and accept the offer which provides the greatest benefit to the charity, its trustees and beneficiaries. We work in close proximity to our charities team, ensuring the risks are minimised and strategic steps are taken at appropriate intervals to ensure the best outcome for all parties.

We strive to develop close working relationships with charities of all sizes, to provide full-service advice to meet your needs.
