Residential Property

Buying or selling a home is more than a transaction, it is a significant moment in your life.

Whether it’s your first flat, a family estate or part of a broader investment strategy, residential property decisions often come with a mix of excitement, uncertainty and pressure.

The process can be complex, emotionally charged and time-sensitive, especially when it involves coordinating multiple parties, navigating legal intricacies or planning for future generations.

Our team is here to guide you with clarity, discretion and commercial insight. We recognise that our clients seek advisers who combine commercial acumen with efficiency and who deliver timely, strategic guidance that protects their interests and supports confident decision-making.

Our team advises on a wide range of residential property matters, including:

• Sales and purchases of all types of residential property: houses, flats, penthouses, apartments, residential blocks, garages, estates and land
• Multi-jurisdictional transactions for clients based overseas
• Development projects, including site acquisitions and unit sales or purchases
• Portfolio sales and acquisitions
• Lease extensions
• Individual and collective enfranchisement
• Granting and taking leases
• Tenancy agreements
• Advice on farmland and associated assets, including agricultural tenancy disputes, lease renewals for estate land and first registration at the Land Registry
• Strategic restructuring of property assets

Our Residential Property team collaborates closely with a number of teams across the firm. We work with our Private Client and Family teams, ensuring the broader picture of your private wealth, from property to personal matters, is considered.

We also collaborate regularly with our Commercial Property and Property Disputes colleagues to enable complete alignment between your personal and business interests and deliver expert support should any challenges arise.

Outside of the firm, we have great relationships with agents, property finders, financiers and surveyors, working with them to make sure each transaction progresses smoothly and efficiently.
