Testimonials


Our History


Land Law was founded by Angus Whyte in 1998; Angus believed it should be possible to deliver outstanding city centre quality legal services to clients for fair and reasonable fees by cutting past the bureaucracy and overheads that can plague larger firms. He set up Land Law on 1 June 1998 to prove the point – and over 25 years later the current partners continue to drive the firm forward with the same values.

In particular: Since 1 April 2018 landlords must not grant new leases of any of their commercial properties that are classified as “sub-standard” under the MEES Regulations; and Since 1 April 2023 landlords must not continue to let any sub-standard commercial properties unless they benefit from an exemption which has been registered on the PRS Exemptions Register.

FOR SALE – Nelson’s Column… Beware Property Fraud

You may have heard the tall tales about Arthur Ferguson, the alleged con artist famous for “selling” English national monuments to American tourists in the 1920s.

We will probably never know whether the stories about Arthur are real or fictional. But what we do know is that property fraud is unfortunately very real and alive and kicking in the UK today.
