Our real estate lawyers combine substantial experience of acting for foreign businesses and individuals acquiring English property with acknowledged expertise across a full range of real estate specialisms and an approach referred to in Chambers UK Legal Guide 2009 (Social Housing section) as "the warm and friendly attitude of the team".

The team, or lawyers in it, are recommended by both Chambers and/or the Legal 500 for commercial real estate and real estate litigation.   We also act for many international buyers of English houses and apartments, with particular knowledge of the highly complex field of residential leases, including the extension of their terms (the length of the lease) and the exercise by flat/apartment owners of, where permitted by law, their right to buy their landlord's legal interest (enfranchisement).

With expertise as well in commercial lease work, property development, affordable housing, construction (building contracts etc), public procurement, real estate investment and property due diligence in corporate takeovers, we offer our many international clients a comprehensive, user-friendly service and clear explanations of English real estate law.
