Residential Property

“Highest level of professionalism. Incredible attitude and support. Strongly recommend working with Edwin Coe LLP to any potential client.”
The Legal 500 UK 2024

We advise on all aspects of residential property from acquisitions, disposals and financing of both freehold and leasehold properties, predominantly in Prime Central London but also in the Home Counties and beyond.  Clients include investors and developers as well as High Net Worth individuals.

We have an in-depth knowledge of the Prime Central London market and have strong relationships with a wide range of agents and other property consultants.  This, coupled with our expertise in wider residential property issues such as construction and especially leasehold enfranchisement, mean that we are very well placed to identify and exploit opportunities for clients and simplify the complexities often encountered.

We are particularly experienced in dealing with overseas clients who are unfamiliar with the Prime Central London market.  We work closely with our Private Client and Tax teams to identify the best solutions for overseas clients in terms of wealth planning and tax structuring.

We provide swift and responsive advice to clients, often working under tight deadlines and ensuring that we are available at all times to clients across different time zones in order to secure the best outcome for them.

In addition we also have experience in transactions involving country houses and farms as well as advising on general rural and agricultural issues.

Examples of work which we have undertaken in this area include:

  • Acting on sale of a house in prime Mayfair in excess of £40m
  • Acting for overseas investor in purchase of 11 flats in well known building
  • Advising a well-known bank in various substantial financing transactions in various prime locations in London, St George’s Hill, Cobham
  • Acting for various well-known sports personalities on the purchase and/or development of substantial residences
  • Advising various clients on the construction of substantial houses on a prime estate in Surrey
  • Advising on the acquisition of a £18m equestrian estate in Hampshire
  • Acting for client who acquired and developed a high-end building in prime Mayfair that won Development of the Year
  • Acting for client on purchase and development of building in Belgravia worth over £100m plus complicated financing and refinancing
  • Advising on the purchase and subsequent refinancing of the then largest ever residential conveyance in London for an international investor in Regents Park
  • Sale of the largest private house in the UK to a preservation trust
  • Advising a UHNW couple as well as their lender on the acquisition of a £45m substantial mansion in Primrose Hill
