INTRODUCTION Platform81 is a marketing agency specialising in strategic marketing, graphic design & website design for small to medium sized businesses across the North West and West Midlands. Platform81 is a marketing agency specialising in strategic marketing, graphic design & website design for small to medium sized businesses across the North West and West Midlands. Stockport & Bromsgrove based Platform 81 had grown successfully to 8 people by October 2013. Due to further expansion and recruitment plans, it was decided that the company would need to move from its previous home at Broadstone Mill. Platform 81 instructed Jackson Barrett & Gass, an award winning Cheshire law firm specialising in Residential and Commercial Conveyancing, Wills, Probate and Lasting Powers of Attorney (LPAs).
New Lease Platform81 agreed the Heads of Terms of their new office directly with the agent, Breakey Nuttall. The Heads of Terms were then sent to all parties; Platform81& Co, their Solicitor at Jackson Barrett & Gass and finally, the Landlord’s legal team. The legal documentation was forwarded to Jackson Barrett & Gass to check and approve. The process was made slightly more complicated with the Landlord being a Pension Company & the previous tenants wishing to leave before the end of their Lease Term. Due to this, a new Lease was granted to Platform 81 for the remaining term rather than assigning the previous Lease.
Jackson Barrett & Gass performed their usual duties, including but not limited to:
• Checking the Freehold title • Submitting searches requested by the client • Checking the standard Commercial Property Standard Enquiries (CPSEs) • Raising further enquiries on all of the above

SUMMARY
Nick Wroe, Director, said “Jackson, Barrett & Gass were fantastic to deal with and they gave us peace of mind that everything was taken care off. Having also worked with Jackson Barrett and Gass on a personal level, I knew the business was in safe hands”
Luke Hewitt, Solicitor, said “We were very pleased to be instructed by a dynamic & growing company. Dealing with pension providers can sometimes be daunting & drawn out. However, we worked pragmatically with all parties to ensure Platform 81 were able to make the move as desired.”
