We have a great relationship with the staff at Xtax and often refer our landlord clients to them, confident in the knowledge that they will handle their affairs efficiently and professionally. We have worked with Jon on several large land transactions and his knowledge proved invaluable in the recent sale of a £2million development, however he is more than happy to assist in the smaller projects, such as homeowners selling off part of their garden for redevelopment.
