About

Provided by Fladgate LLP

Fladgate's real estate department comprises over 50 lawyers.  Our team provides legal insight and advice on all aspects of the planning, funding, construction and sale of large scale out of town and city centre developments, as well as commercial and residential investments.

We excel in the funding, acquisition and disposal of property portfolios, which require the creation of multi-disciplinary teams. In addition to our core team of property lawyers, we have groups specialising in planning, environmental, construction, finance, compulsory purchase and real estate management and litigation.

With this depth of resource we can support even the most sophisticated transactions, including those with attendant regulatory requirements. In addition, we work closely with experts in our tax practice to advise on pre-sale and acquisition structuring, stamp duty, stamp duty land tax, VAT and other relevant tax issues.

Our real estate clients include multinationals, major institutions and listed companies, banks, lenders, developers and entrepreneurs. They recognise the practical and cost-effective service we deliver and the value we add in areas such as structuring, tax, raising finance and communicating fluently in a number of languages. This is particularly valuable for overseas clients acquiring property in the UK for investment or owner-occupation.
