How can Davenport Lyons help?
UK Property
|
With approximately 2,000 lawyers involved in Globalaw and, therefore, many thousands more clients represented by them, there is a huge catchment area and opportunity for creating property business.
Space in the UK is of course limited. We are not a large country. This obvious fact leads to a very special property market which for various reasons (legal and commercial) has proved popular for investors both from within the UK and from overseas.
This country has been invaded over the centuries by, amongst others, Celts, Romans, Anglo-Saxons, Vikings and Normans. More recently there have been financial invasions by property investors coming from the Arab states, Japan, Germany, Sweden, the US and Ireland to name but a few. These investment waves are usually the result of successful economies, or businesses, which have generated capital looking for a safe home with reasonable prospects of further capital growth coupled with an upwards only rental income stream.
We can act as the contact for any clients wishing to purchase or lease property in the UK. If required, we can not only supply a full legal service with regard to commercial or residential properties of any size, but we can also help with site finding, finance, corporate structures, corporate tax, surveying requirements, development, construction, refurbishment, property management, property dispute resolution, legal problem solving and tenant finding.
For overseas investors and their lawyers who are some way from the action, there are obvious advantages of using a trusted UK lawyer to facilitate the process. We have great experience in all of these aspects of property transactions and have long standing professional contacts with leading estate agents and surveyors.
Accordingly, whether it be a straight investment or whether it is a matter of acquiring office, factory, warehouse, light industrial, retail or other property resource, we should be delighted to help.
We are also fully geared up with regard to satisfying the residential property needs of people who wish to reside in this country or of companies who wish to acquire residential premises for their executives to use. UK residential property is a pretty safe long-term investment with (usually) significant capital growth. Therefore, there are many reasons why a company might consider purchasing a residential property for use rather than pay high rents without the benefit of possible capital appreciation.
