Property law firm expands

JB Leitch LLP, specialising in service charge and ground rent recovery, has nearly doubled the size of its Liverpool office.

The company recently acquired 3,000 sq ft of lower ground floor office space on Kent Street in the Ropewalks district of Liverpool to add to its 4,000 sq ft in East Village, Duke Street. The firm spent £250,000 on the refurbishment of the new office managed by Snook Architects.

Jonathan Leitch, managing partner of the firm said: "We now have 30 employees based at the new office [and 55 in total in Liverpool] on top of the refurbishment we are also planning a further IT investment to ensure our IT infrastructure remains ahead of the field."

Hitchcock Wright & Partners advised on the deal.
