Cripps has a highly respected residential property team that acts for HNW individuals, developers and landlords buying or selling high value residential property and land. This includes agricultural and rural estates; new developments and off plan units. Our clients are both domestic and international.
We are one of only a few firms that deliver holistic legal advice to U/HNW private clients, many of whom in the modern world require more than simple or traditional property advice. We are able to draw on the experience of our leading lawyers, from across private client, real estate and corporate practice teams, to deliver creative and practical solutions. While some firms say that they are full service in this sector, many are unable to deal in-house with specialist issues such as leasehold enfranchisement and the increasingly complex SDLT regime. This is alongside planning, construction and employment issues which frequently arise on high value transactions.
Types of work handled:
- Residential conveyancing
- Leasehold enfranchisement
- Landed estates
- Residential development
- Residential management services
