Weightmans advises on Liverpool's biggest Community Centre deal

26 Jan 2016

Weightmans has advised local charity organisation Alt Valley Community Trust Limited (AVCT) on the stock transfer of a community centre based in Dovecot, aimed to provide skills and training to unemployed and disadvantaged local people.

The deal, which involved asset transfer and leasing, will see a new theatre, nursery facilities, library, gym, education and training facilities and a café, all built within the new state of the art centre, set to be the largest in the city.

Real Estate Associate, Amanda Hurst, is based at the firm's Head Office in Liverpool, and has worked with AVCT for over 10 years, advised on the deal. Amanda said:

"This was an exciting project to work on. We have a longstanding relationship with AVCT, and it's been extremely rewarding to be involved in such a worthwhile project that brings a tremendous benefit to the community of Dovecot and beyond."

Phil Knibb, Executive Director at AVCT, has worked with the charity for over 30 years, said:

"The Weightmans team led by Amanda really simplified this complex process for us. They were knowledgeable, responsive and above all a pleasure to work with. This is a fantastic opportunity, and we are looking forward to making a major contribution to the local community."
