Corporate Real Estate (CREATE)
- CREATE – Corporate Real Estate
In recent years the nature and method of acquiring real estate has changed dramatically. The real estate industry has become increasingly complex. Properties are being bought, held and sold in complex structures that require specialist knowledge.
Taylor Wessing in the UK has formed CREATE to provide that specialist knowledge. CREATE adds value to traditional real estate advice.
The CREATE team comprises highly qualified corporate and tax lawyers who specialise in the real estate market.
CREATE has been at the forefront of SDLT planning since its inception in December 2003. We have implemented numerous SDLT planning structures from the well known (eg, JPUT structures) to the more esoteric - offering substantial savings for our clients.
- CREATE makes a difference
In this ever-changing world, CREATE provides technically excellent advice given in a practical and commercial manner.
Working on a day-to-day basis CREATE offers you a full service from the idea/planning stage through to successful implementation.
- CREATE provides solutions
Acquisitions
SDLT is a significant cost in commercial transactions. CREATE advises on possible SDLT mitigation structures which only saves you money but may, by sharing the saving with the seller, tip the balance when it comes to securing the property over your competitors.
CREATE advises on an ongoing basis; we are not just here for you when you have a deal to do, we want to hear from you before you submit your offer.
Disposals
When it comes to disposing of properties within your portfolio, CREATE looks to minimise your tax cost. With an understanding of your portfolio, we will advise you on whether it is appropriate to reorganise how property is held prior to sale.
Tax function
Real estate transactions can involve a broad spectrum of tax issues. These range from SDLT, VAT, capital allowance and withholding tax issues to more general income and capital tax matters. CREATE not only reacts to changes in tax legislation; it is proactive in looking at proposed legislation to identify tax planning opportunities.
Corporate function
The CREATE corporate specialists advise on the range of real estate investment vehicles to establish an appropriate vehicle for the transaction and your portfolio as a whole.
- CREATE
CREATE has been formalised to reflect the established and growing demand for joined up Real Estate and Corporate advice. The CREATE team works with buyers, sellers, developers, surveyors, advisers, lenders, brokers and intermediaries across the real estate industry.
