Ferbrache & Farrell supports PPBF’S completion of the acquisition of ‘Frankie’s Den’

Ferbrache & Farrell’s UK Real Estate team has proudly been involved in the Priaulx Premature Baby Foundation’s (PPBF) recent completion of the acquisition of ‘Frankie’s Den’ – a third property of PPBF situated near Southampton General Hospital and Princess Anne Hospital.

The Foundation already owns compassionate housing known as ‘Aggie’s Burrow’ and ‘Isaac’s Pad’ – two Southampton apartments which they offer to families whose children need special treatment.  The accommodation is in close proximity to the hospital and provides a safe haven, a ‘home away from home’, and offers privacy and comfort to families during these immensely difficult times.

Anna Douglass, who leads Ferbrache & Farrell’s UK Real Estate team, advised on a pro bono basis on all of the conveyancing aspects of the transaction.

Anna said: “I’m so immensely thrilled that that we’ve been able to be involved and support this truly wonderful cause.  The charity has worked tirelessly since its inception to make a difference for our community, local families and children. This cause is very close to my heart, having had the worry of a premature baby myself some 7 years ago, and also having witnessed the traumatic times my close friends experienced in having to unexpectedly deal with an emergency of a medevac flight from Guernsey to Southampton with all the serious implications of neonatal complications and uncertainties. This recent fantastic addition of Frankie’s Den will mean the world to local families in need of a peaceful and comfortable place to stay while their preemie babies undergo vital hospital care.”

Managing partner Alastair Hargreaves said: “Congratulations PPBF! More amazing PPBF news with the addition of Frankie’s Den to Jo & Andy Priaulx’s Foundation. Our UK Real Estate team at Ferbrache & Farrell have been very privileged and delighted to help with the process and to work alongside some truly wonderful unsung heroes on the journey. We are really looking forward to supporting PPBF in the future, and helping those that make the magic happen.”
