Asset Management on Orford Road

We initially advised our client on the acquisition of a mixed-use building on Orford Road in Walthamstow Village in 2011. We continued to support our client throughout their ownership, advising on planning and redevelopment of the property, before securing a letting to GAIL’s Bakery above asking rent. The transaction attracted national media coverage and demonstrated the value of a long-term, strategic approach to asset management.

Over ten years after we advised our client on the initial acquisition of the property through auction, we subsequently provided professional advice as they secured planning permission to redevelop and reconfigure the building to maximise their asset.

Once the development and reconfiguration works neared completion, we launched a comprehensive marketing campaign for the vacant commercial unit, generating a great deal of interest and securing several quality offers.

Terms were agreed with GAIL’S Bakery in excess of the asking price. A lease was completed within one month of solicitors being instructed. The high-profile letting in Walthamstow Village generated national media coverage.

This project reflects our ability to support clients throughout the entire lifecycle of an asset, ensuring investment potential is fully realised.
