Morton Fraser has been appointed to Curtis Banks’ panel of solicitors to advise on its clients’ commercial real estate matters in Scotland, following a competitive tender process whereby two firms were appointed to its framework. This includes the purchase, sale and management of the commercial properties held under its SIPP structures in Scotland.

Fergus McDiarmid, Partner in the Real Estate Team at Morton Fraser, said: “The Scottish property market remains buoyant for SIPP and SSAS activity, and we’re looking forward to continuing our relationship with Curtis Banks, one of the UK’s leading providers and administrators of these structures.

“Being reappointed by the largest independent SIPP and SSAS provider in the UK will continue to draw on our team’s range of expertise, supporting Curtis Banks with any advice required in order to use pensions to buy, manage and sell commercial property.”

Morton Fraser’s Property in Pensions team is the largest of its kind across Scotland, with unrivalled experience in SIPP and SSAS real estate, and has worked with Curtis Banks since 2018. The team completes hundreds of pension real estate transactions each year for most of the UK’s leading commercial property SIPP and SSAS providers in Scotland.
