Residential real estate

Tax structures

Our residential real estate practice advises both domestic and international clients on tax-efficient ways to own and hold a wide range of residential real estate in the UK, from London apartments to country houses.

Considerations of tax efficiency apply whether the property is bought for use as a family home or as an investment property to let out, and we have considerable experience in providing advice in both circumstances.

We have a broad client base, including successful individuals from Russia, the Middle and Far East, Europe and the US, as well as property buyers based in the UK.

Recent work

  • Advising a wealthy client on mitigation of Stamp Duty Land Tax and achieving a six figure "saving".
  • Enabling the purchase of a London house to proceed without an immediate UK tax charge on monies brought into the country.
  • Advising on tax efficient structures for UK property ownership for clients from the US, South America, Switzerland and the Middle East, purchasing landmark buildings in London as well as country homes.
