Property - Residential

The residential property department at Simcocks boasts one of the most experienced team of paralegals on the Island. The team is very long established, has unrivalled contacts and extensive experience of the local law's complexities.

Members of staff are calm under pressure and accustomed to handling multiple transactions, ensuring clients receive a stress free service from instruction through to completion. The team prides itself on its accuracy, attentiveness and speedy response times.

In 2009 we handled more than £100 million worth of domestic conveyancing. As Manx land law differs greatly from other jurisdictions it is strongly recommended advocates are involved at an early stage in projects concerning any form of real estate.

Simcocks also has extensive experience in advising both landlords and tenants in all aspects of residential and commercial leases. We also work closely with our Dispute Resolution Department to address issues between landlords and tenants.

The Simcocks team can assist clients with:

• Isle of Man and UK property
• Freehold and Leasehold sales and purchases
• Residential development both freehold and leasehold
• Transfer of property as a result of matrimonial proceedings, bereavement or refinancing
• Leases
• Assignments
• Subleases
• Possession actions
• Forfeiture and Notices to Quit
• Dilapidations

Our property team is also able to advise on all aspects of agricultural landlord and tenant matters in addition to freehold agricultural land sales and purchases. Representation in the Land Court (landlord or tenant) is provided by experts in our Dispute Resolution Department.
