Our Real Estate team regularly represents overseas clients, both
individual and corporate, in transactions involving real estate in
the UK. We provide a complete service covering all aspects of
commercial and residential property, including sales and purchases,
property investment, property development, landlord and tenant and
property joint ventures. Where necessary, we liaise with our other
teams who provide advice on corporate aspects and matters such as
planning, construction, environmental and tax issues. This enables
us to assist overseas clients with no previous dealings in the UK,
or with UK real estate, as well as those who are already familiar
with the real estate industry over here.
In addition, our extensive range of contacts in other areas of
the real estate industry enable us to assist clients with non-legal
aspects of UK real estate. For example, if an overseas buyer wishes
to invest in UK real estate, we can effect introductions to
appropriate agents with experience in the required market sector
who will be able to assist in identifying and negotiating potential
properties for acquisition.
Areas in which we can provide legal advice and assistance to
overseas clients include:
- property investment
- leases (including office and retail premises)
- hotels and leisure facilities
- residential property sales and purchases
- structuring of property holding vehicles
- real estate finance
