As well as core property services, together with other teams we also increasingly provide specialist advice involving joint ventures and construction issues.

We have considerable experience on advising on property developments in commercial sectors such as offices, industrial, retail, mixed use and residential developments.

Whether the building has been on a greenfield site developing a mixed-use site, undertaking commercial development or major refurbishment, Rix and Kay expertise is invaluable to our clients. In this arena time is money and Rix & Kay’s know how will reduce risk, cut delays and keep the process running smoothly.
