High Net Worth Guide 2025 : London (Firms)
Ranked Individuals
Provided by Howard Kennedy LLP
We advise high-net-worth and ultra-high-net-worth individuals, families, trustees, family offices and international investors on the acquisition, disposal and management of prime and super-prime residential property in London and across the UK.
Property transactions are often closely connected to wider wealth, family and succession considerations. We work closely with clients to understand their objectives and provide clear, commercially focused advice tailored to their circumstances. Whether acquiring a home, restructuring a portfolio or managing a time-sensitive transaction, we help clients navigate complexity with clarity and confidence.
Our team advises on a broad range of residential property matters, including freehold and leasehold acquisitions and disposals, new-build purchases, financing and refinancing, lease extensions, licences for alterations, portfolio transactions and landlord and tenant matters. Many instructions involve high-value assets, complex ownership structures and cross-border considerations.
As part of our Private Wealth specialism, we work closely with colleagues in tax, wealth and succession, family, immigration and disputes to provide coordinated advice that reflects the full context of our clients' affairs.
We also advise on enfranchisement and building safety matters, acting for landlords, tenants, leaseholders and freeholders in relation to leasehold reform, lease extensions, collective enfranchisement and the Building Safety Act 2022.
