Failing to unlock additional value on existing assets or capitalise on new property sales is a common mistake for owner occupiers. To help its Yorkshire clients get the best returns on their investments Ernst & Young has appointed Tom Roseff as head of its real estate tax advisory practice in the county.
A chartered accountant with more than 20 years’ experience working for some of the country’s most prominent real estate businesses, Roseff recently worked for four years as a senior tax manager at Saffery Champness’ Yorkshire practice and has also had spells with two other leading business advisory firms.
As a senior manager, he spent three-and-a-half years with EY from 2000 to 2003. Roseff’s new brief is to develop his team’s service and ensure investors, developers, lenders, construction businesses and owner occupiers manage their tax affairs efficiently.
Property consultants Brunton Knowles has strengthened its Bristol office with the appointment of surveyor, Richard Smale. An experienced commercial and rural surveyor, who also specialises in compulsory purchase, he is joining the Great George Street team from Savills. “Bristol is an exciting city with fantastic opportunities for growth so it’s a great time to be part of the fast expanding office,” said Smale.
Clarke Willmott — which has made 30 new appointments over the past year to its Southampton office — has now added two new members to its Hampshire commercial property team. Andrew Cooper, who joins as a partner, has previously worked as a consultant solicitor at Keystone Law., and Nardip Bhamra, is a solicitor specialising in development and commercial property matters.
Sandersons Solicitors, which has offices in Hull and Beverley, has appointed a London lawyer to head up its new look commercial department. Barrister Hilary Barlow has joined the firm — which is currently bolstering its commercial department and has made a number of key appointments in recent months — as a senior commercial lawyer.
Paul Grimwood is Sandersons’ director and head of its commercial and civil litigation department. “Hilary joins myself, Katie Atkinson, Emma Greenwood, Edward Allen, Lana Fairfield and Paul Brittain in our newly restructured commercial department, which is the largest team we have had for some years,” he explained. “Hilary’s vast experience will considerably strengthen our commercial department and I am very much looking forward to working with her.”
