Property

Whether owning one’s own home or buying property as part of an investment strategy, most of us come into contact one way or another with the property market. This is even more the case now, as conventional forms of pension saving are perceived to be unsatisfactory. Given the size of even the smallest purchase, the complications of arranging finance, and the enormous raft of tax legislation aimed at property transactions, expert advice is vital.

For many years, Hossain Moorehead have acted as advisers to developers, investors, dealers and property professionals such as surveyors, architects and agents. In more recent times, we have been asked to help those buying properties within their pension schemes, and clients entering the world of property for the first time through the ‘buy to let’ market.
