SOUTHAMPTON property consultants Atisreal have successfully worked on a £12.5m deal to buy a key building at Solent Business Park in one of the biggest deals in the region so far this year.

Atisreal worked for Morley Fund Management, one of the largest active asset managers in the UK to buy Leander House at the Fareham business park.

Atisreal director David Ferriman said: "We have acted for Morley Fund Management in many capacities for a number of years, but this is the first investment acquisition we have undertaken for them.

"Leander House is a key building in the south's office market, and securing its acquisition is a huge coup for us. It is also one of the biggest deals in the region this year."
