Transactions involving marine and leisure properties can be complex, often encompassing businesses with multiple components, amenities and potentially developable land.
That is why we take time to really understand your business and what it is you do, so we can deliver a blend of property solutions to match the unique dynamics of your situation.
Whether you are an occupier, landlord or investor, we can help with the full property lifecycle of your marine and leisure asset needs, from buying and selling a marina, to core fundamentals such as income, profitability and cashflow.
As a result of the specialist advice given by Vail Williams, we have achieved not only a valuable new tenant to run the marina, but have also succeeded in transforming it into one of the best facilities on the canal.

Residential expertise
Moorings, houseboats and mobile home parks
As the popularity of houseboats rises across the UK, so too does demand for moorings with full residential planning consent.
We work with major marine operators, navigation authorities, boat owners’ associations and landowners on the opportunities and challenges associated with residential moorings and houseboats.
As National Associate Members of the British Holiday & Home Park Association, we also have in-depth knowledge of the management and operation of mobile home parks, and are responsible for managing residential parks on behalf of freehold owners.
