My experience

Advised overseas investors on the purchase of 360 new build off-plan leasehold apartments in high rise towers in East London.

Advised on the sale of a large country house in Kent for over £4 million with a number of complex issues.

Advised a developer who purchased a period listed property in Brighton, converting it into flats which were then sold on long leases.

How we made a difference

Steve Ellis and his team remain my "go to" provider for residential property transactions. Calm, responsive and clear in the support and advice they offer

Steve Ellis has been very responsive and brilliant in handling all hiccups along the way due to Building Safety regulations and buyer's change of conveyancer midway. Good job!

Ms H L A R Koh, Mr C Y Wong and Mr W G S Wong

Very professional and efficient team.

Steve Ellis was extremely polite, efficient, and very calm.

I always work with Steve Ellis if I can for property related matters as he is totally on top of his game, a delight to deal with and value for money.

Cripps provided a friendly and efficient service meeting all our needs.

I really appreciate that you have gone out of your way to help us. We will definitely be recommending Cripps to all our friends.

He has already been most helpful and clearly exceptionally knowledgeable about purchasing off plan properties. A perfect fit for us. I look forward to us finalising our property purchase.

Thanks Steve, we are in the home and unpacking our stuff. Thanks so much for all your guidance and help in this process. It's quite daunting starting all over in a new country but you made it a very smooth process.

Many thanks for your work in completing the transaction legals for our sale. It’s gone very smoothly and we’re now moved into our newly refurbished home.
