Real estate for charities: buying and selling properties

Our charity and social business team and William Ray, Gerald Eve will consider the key legal and property issues facing charities looking to buy and sell land and buildings.

Many charities have been seeking to sell properties in recent months to take advantage of what has been a buoyant market, as they seek to release funds to invest in their charitable mission or to meet ever increasing core costs. The outlook is now much less certain, and trustees are faced with some complex strategic decisions as to whether or not to proceed with or renegotiate planned transactions. However for those with money to invest now maybe an unique opportunity to acquire properties on favourable terms.
