Meet Nick
I have over 20 years of experience acting for international and domestic clients, helping them achieve their investment and operational targets, as well as managing the life cycle of their real estate portfolios.
Regardless of how complex the matter at hand, I have the required skill sets to enable transactions to be navigated smoothly and efficiently. I am accessible and communication is always crystal clear.
I primarily act for corporate occupiers, private investors, property companies and private equity houses and have worked on deal portfolios that have earned me industry-wide recognition. Typical assets acquired are diverse but include out of town retail parks, office business parks and warehousing sites. To date, my most notable transaction includes being part of a team that helped a client acquire a Canary Wharf skyscraper, at the time valued at c£500m.
I regularly advise corporates on the relocation of their office space and work with fledgling companies taking their first steps on to the real estate ladder through to global corporates acquiring their UK headquarters or expanding their UK presence.
As part of my practice, I aim to provide my clients with everything they need, before they know they need it, and certainly before they ask for it. I take the time to get to know my clients and, above all, I am approachable, adaptable and always available.
When I'm not working, I pursue several outdoor pursuits. I have a passion for fly fishing and sit on the committee of two separate fly fishing clubs, and have done in one case for 20 years. I also enjoy skiing, clay pigeon shooting and mountain biking with my two sons. They never allow skill level to get in the way of an adrenaline-fuelled day out – as evidenced by scars, bruises, and trips to A&E!
