Davis Blank Furniss acts on purchase of 745 Wilmslow Road, Didsbury.

The commercial property team at law firm Davis Blank Furniss has handled the purchase of 745 Wilmslow Road in Didsbury. The site is now being renovated and will become Bisque and Beyond Family Art Café which is expected to open in mid-April. The value of the deal has not been disclosed.
