Real Estate
We advise individuals, investors and companies on a broad range of real estate matters, including acquisitions and disposals of property, leasing arrangements, development projects and real estate investments.
Our Expertise
Our real estate practice supports clients throughout the full lifecycle of property transactions, from initial due diligence and transaction structuring through to negotiation, completion and post-acquisition matters. We advise on residential, commercial and investment properties, acting on acquisitions, disposals and leasing arrangements involving new developments, resale properties and assets under construction.
We assist clients with the negotiation and preparation of sale and purchase agreements, lease agreements and related transaction documentation, ensuring that contractual arrangements are clear, commercially balanced and aligned with market practice. Our work also includes advising on development and construction arrangements, as well as transactions involving properties where title deeds have not yet been issued.
Our team conducts legal due diligence to identify potential risks affecting ownership, title, planning status or regulatory compliance, enabling clients to proceed with transactions on an informed basis. We also advise on ownership structures and investment arrangements connected with real estate assets, including transactions involving cross-border elements or international investors. Where relevant, we provide guidance on tax considerations associated with real estate transactions and ownership structures.
We guide clients through the practical and regulatory aspects of property transactions, including interaction with the Land Registry and other competent authorities, coordination of approvals and management of completion and transfer formalities. Where transactions involve financing arrangements, we work closely with lenders and advisers to ensure that financing and security requirements are properly addressed.
How We Support Our Clients
We approach real estate transactions with a practical, transaction-focused mindset. Our advice is clear, concise and designed to help clients complete transactions efficiently while managing legal and commercial risks.
Clients work directly with experienced lawyers who remain closely involved throughout the process, ensuring continuity and responsiveness at every stage. Where transactions involve multiple advisers or cross-border elements, we coordinate closely with agents, financial advisers and foreign counsel to ensure that transactions proceed smoothly and remain aligned across all parties involved.
