CMS’ Residential Real Estate practice has extensive experience and offers pro-active and tailored advice, handling a broad range of work for commercial clients.

Acting for investors, developers and clients with investment portfolios, we purchase, sell and manage commercial clients' UK residential needs.

We deal with redevelopments, financing and plot sales throughout the UK and Central London. We provide bespoke and integrated tax, construction and planning advice. 

We provide advice on all aspects of residential property transactions for commercial clients including:

  • Buying and selling individual properties and portfolios of properties. 
  • Site acquisition and subsequent development work.
  • Landlord and tenant transactions.
  • Management work.
  • Contentious and non-contentious enfranchisement work, collective enfranchisement actions, lease extensions and rights of first refusal.
