Boodle Hatfield LLP's residential property team is geared towards advising a sophisticated client base, including high-net-worth individuals, large landowners, and non-UK residents investing in UK property. The practice provides a comprehensive service covering complex, high-value sales and purchases, leasehold enfranchisement, and matters concerning refurbishments and rebuilds. The highly regarded Saskia Arthur advises a broad mix of the firm’s core clients. The firm has a particularly strong offering for international clients; Shaima Jillood regularly acts for international ultra-high-net-worth individuals and companies, while Reem Al-Jumaily has a particular focus on advising clients from the Middle East on high-value Central London property and large development projects. Simon Kerrigan brings specialist knowledge of landlord and tenant matters, and Edward Allan handles high-value acquisitions and disposals.
