Services

I do fixed fee property sales and purchases together with associated services such as lease extensions and variations.  

Communication is key and I do a same day response to all client communications received by 5pm during the week.  I am aware of most if not all Brighton & Hove legal quirks and can advise on what is important and also what is not so vital.  

Please contact me  and I will be happy to discuss and let you have a full estimate,  We believe strongly in transparency and the majority of my business is repeat clients.

I act for buyers and sellers, landlords and tenants not to mention lenders.

If you are looking at taking on a new lease of a retail shop, a landlord looking to renew an existing lease, buying some land or pretty much anything that is property or land based please get in touch. 

Recent work  includes the sale of 54 new build flats to a housing association, various high street retail units sales and purchase and a number of development site acquisitions together with onward flat and house sales.  

I also have significant property auction sale and purchase experience.  If you are thinking of buying at auction please contact me first and I will look through the legal pack for you.  There is often a reason properties are put in auction and I can advise on anything unusual or missing in the pack.  

I have acted for a number of developers on anything from one to around sixty units and involving multiple legal titles.

I can assist in site acquisition, division, producing legal packs and drafting leases all the way through to unit sales.

When buying a site it is essential to ensure all legal rights are in place for access and to allow for services to be connected.  Another common issue are legal restrictive covenants which can either stop development altogether or mean that action needs to be taken.

This is a complex area of law and getting the right legal advice is essential.

I have experience of acting for landlord and tenants in many areas including:

• lease extensions.  Once your lease goes below 80 years it becomes far more expensive to  get it extended and more difficult to sell your property.
• Deeds of Variations.
• Enfranchisement, which is where flat owners buy the freehold to their building. 
• grant of new leases.  
• licences for alteration which is where a flat owner would like to make either structural alterations or change the layout of their flat.
