Our Residential Property Group is one of the largest dedicated residential property practices in London and specialises in prime UK residential property transactions both in London and the surrounding areas.
Our clients include private individuals, banks, corporates and on and offshore investment funds. We work with them to find commercial solutions and make the most of our connections with other important players in residential property such as agents, estates and developers. Regularly our work involves tight deadlines and, accordingly, we are highly responsive, ensuring our clients’ objectives are achieved.
Understanding your brief is key: each situation is different and each of our clients has a different set of priorities. Our close working relationship with our colleagues in Planning, Construction, Dispute Resolution, Immigration and Tax means that we do not merely present a list of options, we decisively recommend the best course of action based on all the information available to us.
Our results speak for themselves: we are a growing practice with a lot of repeat business and clients who are happy to refer friends and colleagues for our services.
