Commercial Property Lease

Kerry helped me through a change of tenancy for my commercial property. She gave me expert advice from first contact and steered me through the legislation and processes as well as drawing up the new lease for me. She was very responsive to my queries and I learned a lot. I would certainly recommend Kerry (and Actons), having had a very positive experience.

I’d like to thank Julie McCrery for all her support, advice and hard work in achieving the outcome I always wanted - to keep my own home.
Having Julie in my corner and her understanding of the situation helped me so much.
I’m sure she knew how distressing I found the whole experience and her common sense and reliability guided me through.

Our Residents' Management Company worked with Kerry recently on a property sale. Kerry is very knowledgable, and acted quickly to meet the short deadlines we were working under which was important to the deal. Kerry is very approachable, friendly and professional and we appreciated her good, clear advice.
