- Acted for four bare trusts buying all 4 flats of a new-build development, at a total value of £4.5m, with each trust for the benefit of a minor and owning a 999-year lease, allowing each trustee / beneficiary to deal with each property as they wished.

- Acted in the purchase of a freehold house with vacant possession from a housing association, an exempt charity. The corporate buyer obtained separately represented commercial lending. The housing association insisted on an overage provision, but the planning permission obtained (and subsequently) implemented did not trigger the overage provision.
