Law firm Nelsons has completed the freehold purchase of a 4448sq ft office at Oakham Office Park for Rutland based business rates specialist Ruddle Merz Limited.

Commenting on the property purchase, CEO at Ruddle Merz, Tim Bonham says: "We have been looking for a suitable new HQ for the business for some time and Oakham Office Park is perfect. James and the team at Nelsons ensured the process of purchasing this new property was managed very efficiently and we are delighted to have finally moved in."
Nelsons' partner and head of the Real Estate team, James Coningsby acted for Ruddle Merz on the deal. He comments: "I'm pleased to say that all went pretty smoothly, from the production of the initial heads of terms through exchange of conditional contracts, the grant of planning permission and a fairly lengthy construction period right up to completion and registration. The directors of Ruddle Merz - with whom Nelsons has dealt over a number of years - are a pleasure to work with."
A leading commercial property business rates specialist, Ruddle Merz provides occupiers, owner-occupiers and property owners with a range of professional services covering business space issues and business rates reductions.
