OUR SERVICES
Dermot Main established Main Allen in 1993 and the company quickly became known for advising corporate clients, mainly on commercial property matters, across the UK. We have never accepted “tertiary” instructions unless as part of a package from larger corporate clients.
Over our many years we have always been successful, possibly because:
WE ARE HANDS ON
WE CARE
WE KEEP UP TO DATE WITH LEGISLATION
WE GIVE OURSELVES THINKING TIME ON EACH INSTRUCTION
WE ONLY ACCEPT INSTRUCTIONS ON MATTERS WITH WHICH WE ARE CONVERSANT
WE OFTEN THINK “OUTSIDE THE BOX”

If you think we might be able to help you, but are unsure whether we have the expertise, give us a call. We might surprise you! For example, we recently sold a 40,000 sqft hospital in a West Sussex market town and, on a separate matter, negotiated the acquisition of a quarry and agricultural land in Oxfordshire, totalling 450 acres, without any particular expertise in either of these fields, but were instructed because our clients know our negotiating abilities. We also do a lot of restaurant work.
We Often Look at Matters From Different Angles…
..knowing no one case is ever the same as another. We also spend time working out how to tactically run matters, regularly negotiating excellent results for our clients.
Rather than provide a lengthy dialogue as to what we do, the photographs and descriptions on our ‘Deals Done’ page should give a good indication.
