He has taken cases before the Valuation Tribunal and the Lands Tribunal.
In addition, he deals with a large number of rent reviews and lease renewals for retail and industrial clients throughout the country, valuations for accounting purposes, compensation issues relating to compulsory acquisition of land and buildings and general advice on property related matters on a daily basis.
He is an expert on the valuation of snooker clubs and pharmacies for various taxation and accounting matters.
