This work covers overseas or non‑UK investment in residential property in England, including how foreign buyers acquire homes, invest through structures, and navigate the taxes, funding and regulatory checks that come with ownership. A solicitor in this area helps with due diligence, drafts and reviews the draft contracts, completes and registers title with HM Land Registry, advises on anti‑money laundering checks, and coordinates finance, disclosures, and ownership structures. The solicitor also explains any surcharge or tax implications and how ownership is held.
Where a solicitor protects your position
The key moments include answering decisions that affect title, transfer, and tax status, where delays or errors can lead to loss of the property or additional charges. A solicitor protects your position by managing deadlines, ensuring compliant ownership structures, and addressing complex tax and regulatory consequences that can be decisive for overseas buyers.
