Law firm Furley Page has played a central role in one of Canterbury’s biggest property deals, just months after expanding its Real Estate team.
Furley Page acted for the sellers in the £46m deal that saw the student village in Parham Road bought by TV Dragon’s Den entrepreneur James Caan in association with Kuwaiti backers Dimah Capital.
Caan is chairman of London-based 90 North Real Estate, which secured the privately-owned 800-bedroom complex for the Kuwaitis. The deal was signed with developers Pavilion Property Group.
Jeremy Licence, Partner and Head of Real Estate at Furley Page, led the team involved in the deal, which took several months to negotiate. “We are delighted to have been involved in the contract, which is a prime example of the large-scale student accommodation deals we have been involved in across the South East and beyond in recent years,” he said.
“The sector continues to grow, with students becoming more discerning about their accommodation.”
