Thinking of escaping to the country?

In light of recent events, and the low rates of infection in the South West, you may be looking to relocate from London to Wiltshire or surrounding counties. For anyone making this lifestyle decision, Wansbroughs’ private client department can assist you with putting your affairs in order, and our private client property team has a wealth of experience in selling and buying houses both in the London market and in more rural locations.

Many of our partners and solicitors have themselves relocated to Wiltshire from London, having worked or trained in London firms. On the property side, Matthew Life, who heads our private client property team, originally trained as a corporate finance solicitor with SJ Berwin in London, and has since been specialising in residential property work for the last two decades.

When you make the move it may be as simple as reviewing your current Will(s) and arranging for a more local firm to act as your family solicitors – but we also specialise in the review and creation of trusts, we provide inheritance tax planning advice, and can prepare Lasting Powers of Attorney. Working alongside our private client teams we also have commercial specialists, who can assist if you have business interest that may also move with you.
