Heritage Property
We recognise that our existing and potential clients, in particular landed estates, are responding to changing times by adapting their aims and operations. Our experience, built up over many years of acting for major estates, combined with our specialist skills means we are ready to meet these challenges. The advice and guidance we offer promises fast and cost effective solutions.
Our areas of expertise include:
- advising and acting for the owners of residential property estates on the overall management of their estates, including sales and purchases of residential and commercial property
- general landlord and tenant advice
- enfranchisement
- voluntary and statutory lease extensions and service charge disputes.
We also act for residents' associations and groups of tenants who wish to acquire their freeholds, whether by collective enfranchisement or voluntary purchase. We are very well placed to advise on commonhold.
Heritage taxation
We provide comprehensive advice on every aspect of the taxation of chattels and land, including offers in lieu of Inheritance Tax, private treaty sales, public access to exempt items and land, maintenance funds and heritage management plans.
Chattels
We offer advice to owners of works of art and other chattels in particular in connection with taxation, loans, private treaty sales, and the import and export of chattels.
