🔹 What an RFL Can Provide in Real Estate Legal Advisory & Transactions
As a Registered Foreign Lawyer (RFL), I provide comprehensive real estate legal support for investors, landlords, and businesses. While certain real estate transactions involve reserved legal services (such as conveyancing and litigation), I can assist with legal advisory, contract drafting, investment structuring, and negotiations.

✔ Assisting in offshore real estate investments and international tax considerations.

✔ Ensuring compliance with UK property investment laws and financial regulations.
📌 Example:

2️⃣ Drafting & Negotiating Property Sale & Purchase Agreements
✔ Drafting heads of terms, letters of intent, and pre-contract agreements for property transactions.
✔ Reviewing commercial and residential sale contracts to ensure legal clarity and risk mitigation.

✔ Reviewing planning permissions, environmental risks, and development constraints.
