At Harrison Drury, our commercial property lawyers work closely with a range of organisations in the charity sector to help manage property assets. We understand the complexities and challenges for organisations operating in the non-profit/third sector where the focus is on creating social rather than material wealth.
Our experienced team can guide you through compliance with your obligations in respect of any transaction you intend to undertake; whether that is your intention to relocate either by way of lease or sale and acquisition, purchasing an investment property, or developing or partnering with a developer to develop charitable property
We advise on a wide range of real estate projects for charities including:
- Restructuring ownership including retirement, appointment and replacement of trustees and officers and incorporating charities
- Historic trusts, rules and title issues
- Buying and selling charity property
- Lettings and portfolio management
- Residential and commercial development
- Mortgages, property finance and secured lending
- Property disputes and litigation
Having the power and permission to deal with the property through your governing document and in law, ensuring that the transaction is in the best interests of the charity, complying with legislation to get the best deal and documenting of all of this is paramount. We have an in-depth knowledge of charity law and the sector and apply this, along with our commercial expertise, to the transaction. This means that our clients benefit from careful guidance to take them through the process including obtaining Charity Commission consent, if required. We also have access to other specialist contacts such as surveyors, valuers and tax advisers that you may require.
All transactions involving charity property need careful planning and can often take some time so seeking our advice early is vital to ensure that you get it right and minimise delays in meeting the compliance requirements.
