Heritage Property

Preserving history. Shaping legacy.

We advise individuals, families, executors, trustees and beneficiaries on the ownership, management and preservation of heritage property in the UK and internationally. Our work spans historic homes, landed estates, agricultural holdings and listed buildings – properties that embody both cultural significance and personal legacy.

As an independent London firm with deep roots in private capital, we bring legal precision and practical insight to every aspect of heritage ownership. We understand that these assets are not just investments, but part of a family’s story – requiring stewardship, sensitivity and foresight. The guidance we provide gives you the confidence to protect what endures.

A joined-up view

Managing heritage property demands expertise across multiple disciplines. We take a holistic approach, bringing together specialists in real estate, private client, and tax to deliver integrated advice. Whether acquiring or selling property, navigating planning or conservation issues, or structuring ownership for succession, we ensure that every decision supports the long-term preservation of the asset and the family’s interests.

Our experience extends to charitable and trust ownership, diversification and development projects, and the creation of governance frameworks that balance heritage obligations with modern realities.

Quiet strength. Lasting value.

We recognise that heritage property often carries emotional as well as financial significance. Our approach is calm, discreet and personal – focused on understanding what matters most to you and aligning legal, commercial and conservation priorities. We act early to prevent issues, resolve them pragmatically when they arise, and protect both the asset and its story for future generations.

As a certified B Corporation, we are committed to helping owners and custodians manage heritage property responsibly – achieving the right balance between preservation, purpose and progress.
