Leo Nicholson

I graduated from Reading University in 2007 and started my career at Drivers Jonas which merged to become Deloitte Real Estate, moving across to join the team here at Gerald Eve in 2016. I provide acquisition/disposal advice, financial modelling and analysis to a variety of private equity funds, institutions, overseas investors and property companies. I have experience working across all major property sectors with a focus on the North west and Manchester markets.

I advise a wide range of clients on the disposal and acquisition of commercial property assets across the UK as well as providing wider portfolio and asset strategy advice to other companies and organisations. My clients include Clearbell, Knight Frank Investment Management, Santander, LaSalle Investment Management, Jolivet, Regional Reit, NHS and OMC Investments.
