The new service allows Irish clients investing in commercial or residential property deal with a Dublin-based law company without having to engage a UK solicitor.

The firm has established a specialist UK property department, headed up by Michael Hickey, a dual Irish/UK qualified lawyer.

Hickey has considerable experience in acting for Irish investors in the UK residential and commercial property markets.

According to Hickey, "the growth in popularity of buyto-let and residential investments has afforded many Irish investors the opportunity to obtain value in the UK where the market is extremely buoyant and shows no sign of slowing down."

Gandon Law is well placed to assist clients when they come to sell or re-mortgage their residential or commercial property.

The company acts for a large number of investors in major developments throughout the UK and as a result is in a position to offer clients a competitive fee structure with the benefit of dealing with a home-based solicitor firm.

"Because of my extensive experience, I can negotiate and settle sale and purchase contracts, prepare reports on title for both clients and financial institutions and ensure compliance with money-laundering regulations, " says Hickey.

"I also ensure the completion of the registration of the purchaser's ownership through an online account with the UK Land Registry."
