Sandy Munroe
PartnerLocal Government Property Team lead
I am the Commercial Property lead for the Local Government sector, acting for local authorities in all aspects of their properties – from asset rationalisation to investment, including income-generating investments to redevelopment and regeneration schemes.
I have over 30 years’ commercial property experience and have dealt with all aspects of commercial property in that time – from corporate asset sale and share sale arrangements to large scale voluntary transfers acting for the acquiring newly-established housing providers. My recent focus has been on complex regeneration or asset rationalisation projects for public sector clients – health trusts and local authorities – involving several disciplines from property to planning, commercial, and procurement.
I also have experience acting for retailers, banks, registered providers and corporate clients, including charitable organisations like NACRO and Action for Children.
