Dacres Commercial acquires the services of Edward Pawley

Edward Pawley has been named as a Senior Associate for the commercial property firm, Dacres Commercial, as it is expanding its specialist healthcare division.

In his new role, Edward will carry out valuations, rent reviews and lease renewals, as well as advising on investment transactions, spanning all types of healthcare property including GP surgeries, medical centres and pharmacies. He will cover an extensive area spanning Yorkshire and into the North West, Midlands and down the M1 corridor.

Edward has more than 15 years’ experience working in the healthcare property sector and joins from Sheffield based Mark Jenkinson & Son. Prior to that he worked at BNP Paribas Real Estate.

Edward said: “This move is an opportunity to step up and join one of the leading healthcare divisions with an established client base consisting of medical practices, NHS Trusts, developers and property funds. It’s a very varied role, that is asset specific rather than dependent on location, which also added to its appeal.”

David Ogilvie, who heads up Dacres Commercial, said: “Our well-established healthcare team has recently enjoyed its busiest year yet, as investors make the flight to safety and seek out the high levels of security that the healthcare market offers.

“We’ve successfully advised on a vast range of deals and properties across an ever growing client base and Edward’s experience in the market will enable us to build on this further and it also means he can hit the ground running which is ideal for our busy division.”

Dacres Commercial operates from an office network that covers Leeds city centre, Ilkley, Skipton, Keighley, Harrogate and Otley. The company is part of leading Yorkshire estate agent Dacre, Son & Hartley.
