Property remains one of the most significant investments individuals, families and businesses will ever make. Whether expanding business premises, investing in development opportunities, or managing agricultural land, the right legal guidance makes all the difference.
At Ware & Kay, our specialist solicitors help clients across the region navigate an increasingly complex and evolving property landscape.
Commercial Property – Alex Jeffery, Solicitor
For business owners, property decisions are rarely straightforward—they are strategic, often forming a key part of wider growth, investment and operational planning.
Whether acquiring new premises, negotiating lease terms, refinancing portfolios or dealing with development land, commercial transactions require careful structuring, risk management and a clear understanding of the commercial landscape.
Alex Jeffery advises SMEs, investors, developers and landed estates on commercial leases, acquisitions and disposals, secured lending and development projects.
In today’s climate, where interest rates, planning and market conditions evolve, commercially focused legal advice is crucial. Alex works closely with clients, accountants and other advisers to ensure transactions not only proceed efficiently but align with long-term goals.
By taking a proactive and solutions-driven approach, Alex helps clients identify potential risks early, negotiate effectively and maximise the value of their property interests.
Farming & Agriculture – Sarah Parker – Head of Agriculture
Agricultural property brings a unique set of challenges and opportunities. Farms and rural estates are often multi-generational assets, combining land ownership, tenancies, business operations and succession planning.
Sarah Parker specialises in advising farmers and landowners on sales and purchases of agricultural land, farm business tenancies, easements, option agreements and rural development matters.
With the increasing focus on environmental schemes, biodiversity net gain and changes in government policy—it is more important than ever to take a long-term, strategic view.
Sarah provides practical advice designed to protect not only the value of land and assets, but also the future of the farming business and the families behind them. She works closely with other professionals to ensure that property decisions support wider objectives such as succession planning, tax efficiency and business continuity.
