Marsha Marriner

I bring a wealth of experience in both commercial and residential transactions but my real passion is large and mid-sized property portfolio management, often with an agricultural element.

In the last 10 years, I have immersed myself within the financial sector and honed my expertise in corporate lending.  I act for both commercial and private lenders including retail, commercial offices, residential properties and student lets. These fast-paced transactions suit my working method and I take great satisfaction in getting deals completed for my clients.

My day to day practice includes buying, selling and leasing commercial, residential and agricultural land; acting for developers in acquiring sites and preparing sites for sale once development has completed; property securitisations and secured lending; Agricultural Tenancies and farm contracts; managing large property portfolios, dealing with leasehold management documents; and managing large estates’ property needs including easements and wayleaves in respect of third party rights.

With a keen interest in the countryside, I have been responsible for developing the firm’s significant agricultural and rural affairs capability.  I have also garnered a sound reputation in the sector previously participating as a board member for the National Fruit Show and actively attending other agricultural initiatives and ploughing matches in the region.

I am ranked for my expertise in Agriculture & Rural Affairs, Kent by the Chambers & Partners 2021 guide (clients say: “calm, concise and very knowledgeable,”),

Prior to joining Whitehead Monckton in 2004 I worked for city law firm S J Berwin.  My focus was within their retail team which gave me an insight of the breadth and knowledge of commercial property from both a strong Landlord and Tenant’s position.

In Chambers UK 2024 I was ranked in Band 3 for ranked lawyers as a notable practitioner.  “Marsha Marriner deals with agricultural property and tenancy agreements”.

My expertise in this area includes:

• Property portfolio management
• Secured lending
• Commercial leases
• Deed of easements
• Way leaves agreements
• Buying and selling of farms and land farm contracts & tenancies
• Option agreements and conditional contracts acting for landowners including options to grant leases to solar park developers

I am a keen runner and enjoy the great outdoors with my family and Margot my beautiful Labrador.
