Residential Property

From landmark residences in Prime Central London to heritage estates in the countryside, our Property team advises on the full spectrum of residential transactions.
We guide clients through acquisitions, disposals, and financing of both freehold and leasehold properties, combining precision with commercial acumen.

We also advise on country houses, heritage properties, farms, and rural estates navigating the complex legal issues that arise with agricultural and bare land.

 

Our clients are as diverse as the properties we help them secure: from high-net-worth individuals and family offices, to developers, private banks, trusts, and charities. Many come to us from overseas, drawn by our deep knowledge of the London market and ability to coordinate across time zones with speed and discretion.

 

We are recognised as leading experts in leasehold enfranchisement, as well as broader landlord and tenant matters. We focus on solutions that are not only commercially sound but capable of swift implementation, often under tight deadlines.

 

Working closely with our Private Client and Tax teams, we help clients structure multi-property portfolios, plan for wealth and succession across generations, and resolve issues linked to family or immigration law.

What we do best:
  • Central London and Home Counties property transactions, including high-value homes and country estates.
  • Financing and restructuring.
  • Enfranchisement and related transactions.
  • Non-contentious landlord and tenant advice, including unusual or historic tenancies.
