Property

Residential Conveyancing

With our extensive Bailiwick knowledge, whether you are buying, selling or renting, we are always here to help you.

Open Market or Local Market, we visit every property that our purchasing clients are involved with, and we liaise closely with all clearing banks to ensure mortgage paperwork is dealt with swiftly and efficiently.

For more complex matters such as schedules, délaissances, exchanges and document duty advice, we are ideally placed to provide solutions.

Our cloud based IT systems mean we can work whenever and wherever work requires.  All our clients have direct dial access to everyone in the firm including Advocates to ensure that our clients feel valued and that their needs are met in a ‘trusted adviser’ relationship.

Commercial Property

Our Guernsey practice looks after all aspects of commercial property, ranging from acquisitions, disposals, grants and assignments of leases, options, conditional contracts and document duty considerations.

We work with individual investors, large corporate clients, family offices both inside and outside the jurisdiction and we pride ourselves on service delivery combined with realistic pricing with no surprises.

Planning & Environmental Law

We are often called upon to advise on discrete pieces of planning work, and also environmental law matters.

This includes working closely with the Development and Planning Authority, the Health & Safety Executive, the Law Officers of the Crown and other statutory bodies.  Due to the sophisticated nature of our instructions, we have developed excellent working links with key government decision makers and which our clients have found to be very beneficial.

Population Management

With Human Rights considerations sitting alongside a significant piece of legislation and guidance notes, we are often called upon to help individuals and business to navigate their way through residency and occupation considerations.

This, in turn, means we are able to assist with queries from foreign lawyers on matters such as immigration and relocation requirements.

Again working closely with the Population Management Office, the Guernsey Border Agency and Locate Guernsey, our clients’ needs are fully met and we are always on hand to deal with any queries.
