Background

About Roger Yates

Roger Yates is a partner in the Real Estate team and, having been admitted in 1986, specialises in property development and business lease negotiation. Roger's property development skills have been honed since particularly through acting in the acquisition and disposal of development land and newbuild units for housing associations and national house-builders. Roger's property development work routinely involves, in addition to land sale and purchase and development agreements, the negotiation of options, section 106 planning agreements, deeds of grant and release, covenant and surrender, infrastructure and car club agreements and the grant of nomination rights. Roger's business lease negotiation skills are employed not only for the benefit of existing and prospective tenants of commercial premises but also for landlords and others seeking to dispose of surplus space. This combination of skills has been especially useful to housing associations and private developers alike, when their primarily residential developments have incorporated elements of non-residential use. Roger's clientele has also included non-housing charities, local authorities and even other firms of solicitors. Specialties: Property development, business lease negotiation and the acquisition and disposal of commercial property.
