Law firm acquires York offices

Law firm Rollits has acquired a building at Monks Cross in York to relocate its North Yorkshire offices.

Forsyth House, a 6,000 sq ft building, has been sold by Flanagan James Property Consultants on behalf of undisclosed private investors.

The detached office unit has been acquired by the firm to facilitate the relocation of their York office from Rowntrees Wharfe, where they had been previously located for 25 years.

Richard Flanagan of York based Flanagan James Property Consultants said: “The disposal of Forsyth House was a rare opportunity to acquire a freehold, high specification, office building with dedicated car parking on a popular Business Park”. He continues “with an asking price of slightly under £1,000,000, this proved to be an extremely popular prospect, which I am sure will serve Rollits well over the years to come.”

Ralph Gilbert, managing partner of Rollits said: “The availability of Forsyth House presentenced an ideal opportunity for Rollits to purchase a prestigious office building to accommodate our future needs. We are excited about the continuing success of our practice and our move to Forsyth House in Monks Cross demonstrates our commitment to the development of our York base.”
