About
We advise both domestic and international clients on buying and selling residential real estate in the UK, Italy and the US and provide a range of services relating to the acquisition and holding of real estate assets. In addition, we manage acquisitions in other foreign jurisdictions and co-ordinate advice on tax-efficient structures for holding real estate, whether as an investment or as an additional home.
Many of our clients spend substantial sums on developing and renovating their real estate and we assist in the negotiation and appointment of designers, architects and other professionals, as well as guiding them through the complexities of obtaining the necessary permits. Where properties are to be let out (leased), we advise both landlords and tenants on issues surrounding short-term rental agreements.
