High-value property transactions need specialist legal and financial expertise
Legal and financial advice under one roof
For high-net-worth clients buying a high-value property, there are many more legal and financial considerations than in a less complex transaction. Whether you are buying a London home, a country estate or investing in a luxury development, it’s important to have experienced legal and financial advisers by your side. At Tees, we have all the services you’ll need to navigate your high value purchases under one roof.
Specialist services for high value properties
Many high-value properties can have complex title deeds or limitations and restrictions. Our conveyancers will conduct advanced due diligence, looking into issues such as unregistered land, agricultural rights or mixed business and residential properties. Using extensive searches beyond the standard local authority searches, we will make you aware of any historical boundary disputes and ensure compliance with all heritage and planning restrictions in the event you require alterations or renovations.
"Very informative all the time, clear instructions and a very fast result. A pleasure to work with. Highly recommend."
Off-market transactions and confidentiality
Our high-net-worth clients often buy their properties through off-market channels to preserve privacy. Our legal and financial teams work discretely to ensure confidentiality and can provide exclusivity agreements to protect anonymity.
Important considerations
Tax and financial planning with high-value property transactions
Our in-house team can help you with all financial issues around your property purchase, or we can work with your existing advisers. We can help you set up tax-efficient ownership structures, including offshore trusts and corporate vehicles, as well as multi-jurisdictional ownership. We can help with tax relief advice, including mitigation of higher rates for additional property ownership. We can also help with advice on bridging finance arrangements.
Compliance guaranteed
High-net-worth property conveyancing must strictly follow legal compliance and involve Source of Funds (SoF) verification and Anti-Money Laundering (AML) checks. All our lawyers are members of the Law Society Conveyancing Quality Scheme.
