Neal said: “It is fantastic to have a strong and dedicated residential property team in place at Wright Hassall.

“Everyone within the team has a tremendous wealth of knowledge and experience and can provide clients with the full suite of residential property legal services.

“Being a small, tight-knit team means that we provide clients with a cohesive and personal approach, resulting in a smoother transaction for all parties involved.

“We also keep across all of the latest developments in the sector and were eagerly anticipating this year’s Autumn Budget, where we saw the Chancellor increase stamp duty on second properties from 3% to 5%. As a team we deal with a lot of second property purchases so this is something that will affect many of our clients.

“Sitting within the private client group also means that we are able to collaborate with other colleagues to ensure clients are provided with a tailored, well-rounded service to suit their needs.”
