Property transactions

A good part of your assets may well take the form of property whether for investment or for residence.

We handle all aspects of transactions involving medium to high value properties, especially where there may be legal or other complications, with quality and professionalism.

We also provide advice on the relevant taxation issues.

Work experience/case studies:

  • We regularly and routinely deal with the transfer of properties into joint names as tenants in common, so that full advantage can be taken from the taxation of Wills incorporating nil rate band discretionary trusts.
  • We act for clients who wish to give properties to children as potentially exempt transfers for Inheritance Tax purposes, and advise elderly clients on conditions attached to equity release and lifetime mortgage products.
  • We represent clients in the sale and purchase of residential and investment property, and advise clients on selling land subject to overage provisions where they may sell or buy land subject to further money being paid over on successful application being made for planning permission.
