Restructuring & Recovery Overview

When a business faces financial pressure it’s essential that prompt and considered action is taken.

Christie & Co has been advising on, valuing and selling operational real estate since 1935, an economic period characterised by seven recessions and arguably the most challenging and disruptive event to impact business and commerce, the Covid-19 pandemic.

One constant in Christie & Co’s 85 plus years of service has been our unparalleled experience, knowledge and expertise when it comes to business property. We have a wealth of experience in dealing with business distress and an understanding of the dynamics of turnaround and recovery situations.
