Martin Poole

I provide strategic advice to a range of both landlord and tenant clients, primarily focused on rent reviews, lease renewals and re-gears, covering large distribution warehouses and multi-let industrial estates.

I advise occupier clients including Dulux, Yodel and Ocado, and landlord clients including Kennedy Wilson, St Modwen, The Arch Company and Clipstone.

• Multi-let industrial estates – advice to a landlord client on a number of lease events at a multi-let estate in Harlow.
