Karen Stanley LLB. (Hons.) FARLA, a former Solicitor, worked primarily in civil litigation before joining the family firm of specialist Letting Agents, with husband James Stanley, in the Southeast of England. Karen has been responsible for the last 26 years for the legal compliance, contract writing, training and implementation of systems, procedures and laws in the firm.
Her constant and regular attendance for legal training to not only keep up with the now 170 laws and 400 regulations relating to residential property but also to prepare for the future requirements of lettings businesses has ensured the business is award winning and used an insightful approach.
Karen has passed the Propertymark Level 4 Certificate in Property Agency Management.
James Stanley LLB. (Hons.) also a lawyer who specialised in property sales before joining the family firm and for 30 years went onto manage the offices, implement procedures, inspecting and processing the client account. Gained an in-depth understanding of practical issues facing firms and how to mitigate risks and maximise returns.

Specialists in Due diligence and Compliance
Regular compliance checks of the business and the property portfolio are needed no matter the size of the business. Whether you have 1 member of staff or 100 the need for systems and procedures to run a compliant lettings business are essentially the same, the complexity may be a little different.
If you are looking to grow, merge or sell ,what you do and how you do it on a daily basis matters. If you have an issue with compliance in one area, which is replicated, your business could be in jeapardy.
James and Karen have recently sold their business to a leading corporate company known for being one of the toughest companies to implement due diligence checks. They pre-empted the questions and requirements the buyers would need and were complimented by each part of the corporate’s teams, their solicitors and selling agent.
The importance of this is that it enabled them to maximise the sale price of the business being sold, ensured that the buyer had no concerns over due-diligence and thus kept to their full price and finalised to a successful completion of the sale. They understand the lengthy and complex questions that will be asked by buyers, how daunting this can be and can guide sellers through this process in a practical manner.
Confidentiality
If you are considering selling your business, keep in mind that the process can take months before the sale is finalised and the employees and clients are informed. Discretion and confidentiality are essential during the pre-sale stages, during an acquisition and during compliance review checks.
Stanley Strategic Consultancy never divulge confidential information to anyone outside of the firm. You can be sure that information obtained about our client’s business operations or work within the industry is kept strictly confidential.
