Company PLC as it makes two significant
acquisitions
Rowlinsons crowned Best
Conveyancer in the North West
The Liverpool office of
international law firm, Hill
Dickinson has advised The
Conygar Investment
Company PLC , on the
acquisition of two
development sites in Wales.
The property investment and
development group has
acquired the freehold of the
former Shell Storage Facility
site near Rhosgoch, Anglesey
for a consideration of £3
million.
The 203 acre brown field site is
located approximately 3 miles
from Amlwch Port and 6.5
miles from the site of the
existing and proposed Wylfa
Nuclear Power Station.
Hill Dickinson also advised the
group on the acquisition of a
9.96 acre freehold serviced
development site at Cross
Hands, South Wales from
Sainsbury’s Supermarkets
Limited. This site benefits from
a detailed planning consent
for a 90,792 gross sq ft food
store with a 6 pump petrol
station and 495 car parking
spaces.
Pam Jones, partner in the
property team at Hill
Dickinson, said: “We’re
delighted to have worked
alongside Conygar to secure
these two significant additions
to their investment portfolio.
Both sites provide substantial
opportunity for development
that could deliver a sizeable
return on investment.”
Robert Ware, chief executive
of Conygar added: “We are
delighted to have completed
these two transactions and I
wish to thank Pam and her
team for their excellent
service in completing these
acquisitions, which is much
appreciated.”
Rowlinsons Solicitors
enhanced their increasing
reputation by picking up three
accolades at the recent LFS
Gala Dinner and
Conveyancing Awards earlier
this month which were held at
Stadium MK in Milton Keynes.
The Frodsham based law firm
received the prestigious
accolade of Best
Conveyancer in the North
West and as a result they
subsequently advanced to
compete for the title of
Overall Conveyancing Firm of
the Year alongside the other
regional winners.
In the final Rowlinsons were
voted as being the third best
conveyancing firm in the
country and received the
bronze award.
The firm was also highly
commended in the Direct
Conveyancer of the Year
category.
Tom Parkinson, Director and
Head of Property at
Rowlinsons commented ‘We
are extremely honored to
have been recognised three
times at these awards for our
conveyancing services. As
Head of the Property team I
am particularly proud of the
entire team's achievement
which is thoroughly deserved
and reflects the commitment,
hard work and effort which
they have demonstrated over
the course of the last year.”
"Winning the LFS awards
means a great deal to us here
at Rowlinsons. We may not be
a city based practice but that
hasn't stopped us from striving
to deliver the highest
standards in property law
services to our clients. It's an
ethos that runs throughout
Rowlinsons and is not confined
to our property team. Every
one of our employees has
contributed to this award and
we are very proud of their
hard work and dedication."
This course will
provide
practitioners with an update on
case law and legislative
developments over the
last year.
