Asset Transfers: Opportunity or Liability?

Property Workshop and Advice Clinic

Tuesday 26th April 2016 10am-4pm

Community Foundation, Philanthropy House, Woodbine Road, Newcastle upon Tyne, NE3 1DD

Charities and community groups are increasingly choosing to take on asset transfers from local authorities as a means of acquiring property. However without proper management, any property is at risk of becoming a liability, with unforeseen costs and unexpected problems putting strain on organisations which are often already overworked.

Property Workshop 10am – 1pm

This training is designed to give a jargon free, accessible introduction and overview of how to make asset transfers a success:

How taking on an asset can benefit your organisation How to engage with local authorities Business planning to assess the viability and sustainability of taking on community buildings Legal structures and governance issues to consider when considering taking on community buildings Identifying ‘hidden’ hazards or responsibilities: what are you ACTUALLY taking on Common mistakes and how to deal with them Lessons from others

Property Advice Clinic 2-4pm

The half day training session will be followed by a property advice clinic to give you the chance to have a 20 minute session with one of our advisers, on an individual basis. The clinic will have one lawyer and one property adviser. Spaces are limited.
