A YORK law firm is relocating following more than 25 years in the city centre after investing almost £1 million in premises at Monks Cross.

Rollits Solicitors is moving from Rowntree Wharfe to the 6,000sq ft Forsyth House, which is acquired from undisclosed private investors.

The offices were sold by York-based Flanagan James Property Consultants.

Ralph Gilbert, managing partner of Rollits adds “The availability of Forsyth House presented an ideal opportunity for Rollits to purchase a prestigious office building to accommodate our future needs. We are excited about the continuing success of our practice and our move to Monks Cross demonstrates our commitment to the development of our York base”.

Richard Flanagan of Flanagan James added: “This proved to be an extremely popular prospect, which I am sure will serve Rollits well over the years to come.”
