Residential Property Investors

As a residential investor you need to be confident that you're making the right decisions, which is so much easier if your advisors don't just know the law, but really understand the industry.

What we do

We provide a full conveyancing service, backed up by specialist planning, construction and dispute resolution teams should they be needed.

We have for many years provided a dedicated residential investment team who can guide you on issues such as:

  • The pros and cons of buying off plan, including property specifications and timescales
  • Advising on incentives that may disguise the true value of your investment
  • Checking the terms of a lease from an investor's point of view
  • Dealing with your lenders
  • Selling residential investment properties
  • Drawing up tenancy agreements
  • Dealing with difficult tenants

Clients

We act for investors from around the world who wish to buy houses and flats in England or Wales. Many investors are from South Africa, and we have a partner based in South East Asia who regularly meets investors from that region.

Why Cripps Harries Hall?

Our dedicated residential investment experts can help you with all the practical aspects of the deal, and you get the confidence that comes from working with one of the leading property firms in the South East.
