Main Areas Of Practice
Our Residential Property lawyers advise our clients on property structuring and ownership when acquiring property or reviewing their portfolios.
Property ownership
There are alternatives to owning property in your personal name, such as in a company, and there may be many reasons to do this, not always tax-led. We provide you with the options and link in directly with the advisors handling your purchase.
Tax advice
When acquiring property, particularly for investment, consideration may need to be given to Stamp Duty Land Tax (SDLT), the Annual Tax on Enveloped Dwellings (ATED), Capital Gains Tax (CGT), Corporation Tax, Income Tax, Inheritance Tax (IHT) and VAT. We can advise you on the impact of tax on your purchase.
Annual Tax on Enveloped Dwellings (ATED)
This now applies to properties worth over £500,000 held by a non-natural person (such as a corporate structure), resulting in an annual tax charge. Our Residential Property solicitors can assist you in reviewing the present impact of ATED if you own a property through a structure, and weigh up the alternatives. We have acted for many clients wishing to de-envelope and understand the complexities in doing so.
Inheritance tax and succession planning
With the impact of IHT on UK residential property regardless of residence or domicile status, our Residential Property solicitors provide the necessary tax and succession planning advice to understand your options and the impact on family wealth.
