Bewl Water changes hands
Mon 28 July 2008
The Vertex Law team headed by James Beatton has just completed a complex transaction for Kent Attractions LLP, the property and leisure business operated by prominent local businessman Simon Hume-Kendall.
The transaction involved the sale by Kent Attractions of its interest in the Hop Farm Country Park to Peter Bull and the purchase of the business and lease of Bewl Water, one of the top tourist destinations in Kent and Sussex.
Simon Hume-Kendall said, “Working with Vertex Law during this transaction demonstrated to us that the skills sets, work ethic and value we obtained from them is superior even to the larger and more prominent local or London firms that we currently and previously have engaged."
"From the initial stratagem on how to negotiate the transaction, through the consolidation of the various elements of legal, financial, taxation, operation and right up to completion of a highly complex series of arrangements, the attention we received was constant and seamless with the various Partners and Solicitors working in their various areas of endeavour seemingly always well briefed and fully comprehending of the project.”
James Beatton said, “This was the final stage of a series of transactions involving the Hop Farm over the last 2½ years. Kent Attractions has secured a great opportunity with Bewl Water and we are looking forward to working with them on that project."
Simon Hume-Kendall went on to say, “We could not recommend Vertex more highly to any serious business operating in the area or beyond."
