Residential Property

Residential Property – Prime London, Estates & High‑Value Advisory

We advise a full spectrum of clients across the UK residential property market, with particular expertise supporting high‑net‑worth (HNW) and ultra‑high‑net‑worth (UHNW) individuals, international families, private offices and private banks. Our work includes the acquisition, structuring and disposal of prime and super‑prime London homes, large residential portfolios, agricultural land and significant country estates across England and Wales.

Our service is equally accessible to first‑time buyers, owner‑occupiers and growing families. Whether a client is purchasing a standard leasehold flat or a high‑value landed estate, they receive the same level of diligence, communication and expertise.

Our technical capability covers complex London leaseholds, freehold houses, listed buildings, new‑build and off‑plan units, mixed‑use rural property, agricultural holdings and multi‑parcel estates.

We also provide specialist advice on leasehold enfranchisement, including statutory and voluntary lease extensions, collective freehold acquisitions and lease restructuring, supported by ALEP‑aligned practitioners.
