Property law

Whether you are buying your first home, selling a family property, or remortgaging, Fionan handles every stage of the transaction with care and precision. You deal directly with a partner.

Fionan's approach is to anticipate problems before they arise, keep all parties informed, and ensure that exchange and completion happen on time. Clients consistently highlight his responsiveness and clarity of communication in their reviews.

Auction purchases operate under strict, unforgiving time constraints whether a hybrid auction with its fixed contractual completion date, or a conventional fall-of-the-hammer sale requiring completion. There is no room for delay. Fionan has extensive experience acting for buyers at auction, carrying out rigorous pre-auction due diligence and driving matters forward with the pace and precision these deadlines demand.

His command of auction legal packs, title issues, and the relentless pressure of compressed timescales means clients can bid with absolute confidence , knowing that when the hammer falls, the legal side will not let them down.

Fionan advises on the acquisition and disposal of commercial property, including offices, retail units, and mixed-use developments. He also acts on commercial leases, both for landlords granting leases and tenants taking them.

His commercial work draws on the same direct, partner-led approach that defines his residential practice: clear advice, proactive communication, and a focus on getting transactions completed efficiently.

Fionan regularly acts for clients based outside the United Kingdom who are purchasing property whether as a primary residence, investment, or for family members. He is experienced in navigating the additional considerations that apply to overseas buyers, including SDLT surcharges and the practicalities of remote transactions.

Clients based in the Middle East, Asia, Europe, and North America have relied on Fionan's expertise to complete London property purchases smoothly, with clear communication across International time zones.
