Examples of our expertise

Our reputation as experts in this field goes before us, with our proven track record in meeting deadlines and solving even the most complex problem setting us apart from other firms.

Falmouth House

Our client asked us to help extend the lease to a parking space, which was shorter than the flat he was purchasing. Despite the seller not being amenable to assisting with this we researched the freehold owner and approached them directly, to negotiate the extension, working with the seller to conclude matters simultaneously.

Talal

Our client's sharia financing issued very close to completion. Working collaboratively with our corporate department and client, we ensured all legal work was completed before the developer's deadline.

Red House

We completed this purchase within two weeks, to ensure our client received a discount offered by the developer.
