About
- Autobiography
Born
1949 in Ealing, educated at City of London School, my
property career began at Montagu Evans, London in 1967. In
1971, I joined my late father's firm, Fineman Lever &
Co, Chartered Surveyors. In 1975, I established my practice
in Harrow, NW London to specialise in rent review and lease
renewal. In 1993, I moved my office to Ledbury,
Herefordshire.
As well as advising Clients, I contribute to professional
wisdom by writing about rent review, lease renewal,
business tenancy law, and shop property. My publications
have been bought by thousands of solicitors, barristers,
chartered surveyors, accountants, students, property
companies, investors, industrialists, banks, and multiple
retailers.
My letters and articles appear in Estates Gazette, Law
Society's Gazette, Solicitors' Journal, Chartered Surveyor,
Arbitrator, Estates Times, The Grocer, Financial Times,
Property Law Bulletin, Central (Institute of Directors),
Investor's Chronicle, Property Week and Retail Week.
I am mentioned in a Blundell Memorial Lecture and a
'footnote' in 2 law books - 'Land Options' by Barnsley
(1980) and 'Drafting Business Leases' by Lewison (1981). In
1984, I launched Current Review. In 1995, I was awarded a
prize for my essay on the Future of Town Centres and
Retailing in a competition sponsored by Marks &
Spencer. In 1996, I received a Certificate of Academic
Standing from the Law Society. I have experience as
executor and trustee. I am a member of the Shop Agents
Society.
In spare time, I play badminton, do a bit of
weight-lifting, and help out in my wife's
shop,
selling organic and natural skin care products.
With an unusually good understanding of retailing and
property, my services are often recommended by surveyors
and lawyers.
