Expertise

Gilmartin Ley has various specialist functions in-house, is adept at co-ordinating action across those functions and if appropriate using a wealth of contacts in the property industry from planning advisers to solicitors to ensure that our clients' objectives are met.  

To demonstrate our capabilities please have a look at the case studies below:

• Office acquisition for Which? - Which? was launching a new division and urgently required 5,000 sq ft of Grade A office space:  Gilmartin Ley sourced and negotiated the deal (case study here).
• Strategic advice on non-operational property portfoio - Gilmartin Ley led a team of consultants in winning the instruction to advise a major institution on how to use it's non-operational property to meet its objectives (further details are not available because of client confidentiality).
• Highgate freehold multi-tenanted investment sale - having let vacant units and agreed rent reviews for the client previously on this property,  Gilmartin Ley advised the client on the sale of this prime North London investment (case study here).  Gilmartin Ley have been retained by the new owners to let vacant units as they become available.
