Chris Twaits - Pension Property Solicitor

Chris Twaits

Partner, Head of Commercial Property

Chris has acted for SIPP and SSAS pension trustees for over 18 years in the acquisition, sale, letting, mortgaging and in-specie transfer of commercial property investments.

In many cases Chris has built a very close working relationship with scheme members and has been a constant sounding board for those members for the duration of their SIPP or SSAS commercial property investment.

Credentials

Chris has been recognised by the Legal 500 (a key independent guide to the legal profession) as a commercial property ‘Leading Individual’ in the South West region consistently for the last six years.

Although in many respects pension property transactions are similar to any commercial property investment transactions, when acting for SIPP and SSAS trustees Chris draws upon over 20 years’ experience of finding legal solutions to issues that uniquely arise in SIPP and SSAS pension property investment transactions.
