Fred has considerable experience of site acquisition including consortium site acquisition, commercial property acquisition and of commercial leasing including extensive knowledge of the Landlord and Tenant Act 1954 Part II. He is also experienced in short and long term commercial funding by sale and lease-back and rent securitisations, also negotiation and finalisation of Section Agreements.
