Buy to Let Conveyancing in London, Led Personally

Buying a rental property in London rarely looks like a straightforward purchase elsewhere. You may be competing on a Zone 2 ex-local flat one week and a purpose-built new-build in Nine Elms the next, working around short exchange windows, sealed bids, and sellers who expect proof of funds and a solicitor on file before they will even take you seriously. On top of that, London stock is overwhelmingly leasehold, which means management packs, ground rent reviews, cladding and EWS1 questions, and sub-letting clauses all need checking carefully before you commit, particularly if the flat is intended for tenants from day one.

Our buy-to-let conveyancing service is built around that reality. Lauren Basger, a named solicitor at our Manchester and London offices, handles your matter from instruction through to completion, so when your agent calls to push for exchange, or your broker needs the report on title for the lender, you are speaking to the solicitor who actually knows your file. Lauren will talk you through the higher rate of stamp duty that applies to additional properties, the searches that matter most for London postcodes, and the leasehold points that affect yield and resale, clearly, and before they become problems.

We act for landlords across London and the South East, from first-time investors buying a single flat to portfolio landlords adding to existing holdings, and we are recognised as a Leading Firm by the Legal 500 UK 2022. If you would like to talk through a specific property or simply understand the process before you offer, call 0330 808 0849 for a no-obligation initial discussion with Lauren.

This sits within our Buy to Let guidance.
