Property

Our clients have substantial property interests. At Wilsons, our property team has developed extensive expertise in many niche property areas. We are asked to deal with the purchase, letting and sales of their investment properties, options over and sales of development land, all aspects of commercial property, sales and purchases of residential properties in the UK including acting for substantial clients based overseas, religious, charity and educational properties, and all property transactions relating to farms and landed estates.

Our property tax specialists work extremely closely with our property team. They are on hand to add commercial taxation advice on all aspects of property transactions. We are able to advise on direct tax issues in connection with property acquisitions and disposals including the tax implications of structures such as partnerships and joint ventures. The team also has wide experience of advising on the implications of stamp duty land tax and various aspects of VAT including tax recovery and VAT planning for residential developers.

A solicitor will oversee the work on your property project from start to finish.

You will benefit from our specialist understanding of our key sectors:

  • Residential – typically we work on bespoke, higher value or more complex properties including farms and landed estates.
  • Development land – our highly regarded team includes one the country’s top specialists in maximising value from green-field development land
  • Commercial – our technically strong team handle leases and freehold purchases for all types of commercial property
  • Landlord and tenant issues
  • Agricultural property
  • Landed estates

In addition to providing sound legal advice, we are also happy to act as your project manager if required, managing the wider transaction on your behalf.
