Blacks Solicitors has merged its property teams to create Blacks Real Estate to support landlords, investors, occupiers and developers.

The 28-strong real estate team have so far transacted deals at a value of over £500 million with projected turnover is set to reach over £2 million.

SPECIALIST OFFERING

Blacks says the rebrand will better reflect the specialist property offering available at the firm.

The previous Commercial Property team developed from offering general commercial property practice to a wide range of specialisms.

Now the Blacks Real Estate supports landlords, investors, occupiers and developers across the UK with specialist knowledge in energy, development, holiday and home park sector, banking & property finance, telecoms, property litigation, planning and enfranchisement.

The team continues to act as a key advisor for high profile clients including Bank of India, Vida Healthcare and Harrogate Spring Water.

PROPERTY INDUSTRY

Matthew Hutchinson, a Partner in the Real Estate team, says: “Over the years, as energy becomes an increasing focus for the Government and property industry, we’ve seen a growth in the number of developers, landowners and investors seeking advice.

“This is particularly the case for projects including utility scale generating, storage transactions and meter developments.

“As UK businesses continue to face numerous energy challenges, I’m looking forward to growing this specialist offering within the team so that we can continue to support property professionals in building a sustainable energy future at a time where energy uncertainty is growing.”

Nick Dyson, Head of Real Estate, adds: “As one of Yorkshire’s leading law firms with a national presence we have significant ambitions when it comes to our experienced team delivering an exceptional service to a growing number of sophisticated developers and investors across the UK.”
