Prime residential property
“Highly professional team, who offer expert advice and the ability to find solutions to problems. A clear commitment to the process and a drive to close the deal.”
The Legal 500 UK 2025
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.
