Private investors in commercial property

Whether our private investors are experts or relative novices when it comes to investing in UK real estate, they find the lawyers at Seddons to be knowledgeable, commercial and pragmatic.
Based conveniently in Central London, the Seddons property team has several partners with many years’ experience in the commercial property market – spanning offices, residential multi-let blocks, retail, care homes, leisure, restaurants and pubs and even education buildings.


Many of our private investors in property are based overseas and they always need a fast service – and one that extends beyond traditional UK office hours. They often also require a service that goes beyond expert legal knowledge that can put them in touch with the range of other trusted advisers including: banks and finance sources, valuers, surveyors, letting agents and managing agents.

In some situations, the vehicles required to acquire and maintain the properties in a tax efficient method will be important and in these cases the commercial and residential property lawyers work closely with the corporate and commercial lawyers within the firm. Similarly, our private client team is able to advise on the impact of property investment on an individual’s overall tax position.

Absent landlords or those who have little time to manage their investments may need help with tenancy agreements, licences for alterations and other day-to-day legal issues arising from their commercial and residential tenants – all of which the Seddons team is able to provide as part of the service.

But most important of all, our private investors need to know that their legal advisers at Seddons will be ever alert to the need to ensure the appropriate legal structures and remedies are used to maximise the value of and the return from property investments.
