Geraint Wheatley

Geraint Wheatley is a leading property practitioner and has been ranked as such in the directories for many years.

His practice increasingly focusses on commercial property development, dealing with cases involving development agreements, overage, promotion agreements, options and problems concerning title or access. He often acts together with colleagues from Chambers’ planning team on cases at the interface between real property and planning/highways issues. His instructions also range from commercial, residential and agricultural landlord & tenant, through traditional land law matters such as easements, covenants, boundaries, adverse possession and registration, to nuisance, and mortgages.

He is Guest Editor of Property Law UK and combines an outstanding academic background with tactical awareness and an eye for detail.

He regularly acts in both the High and County Courts for institutional clients such as developers, banks and national limited companies, and has a niche expertise in LPA receivership cases. He has appeared a number of times before the Court of Appeal and the First Tier Tribunal: Property Chamber.

Geraint regularly delivers seminars both online and in person, including multiple times on behalf of the Property Litigation Association. Areas covered over the last couple of years have included the 1954 Act, realigning rights of way in development cases, termination of leases, property notices, overriding interests, adverse possession (dealing with Thorpe v Frank, in which Geraint appeared in the Court of Appeal), and boundaries. He is happy to provide training in-house to solicitors and with solicitors for their clients.
