Residential Property
We recognise that moving house can be one of the most costly and important steps that anyone makes, and one of the most stressful of life’s experiences. We offer a service designed to minimise problems wherever possible and to keep you informed at every important stage.
We have a wide range of experience, working on different types of property and transactions. As well as assisting with residential property transactions of all sizes ranging from high value properties to studio flats for use as a home or as an investment, we advise on the purchase and disposal of land, the sub-division of land and the refinancing of property.
Meadows Ryan offers a full range of services on landlord and tenant matters, including advice on lease extensions (including dealing with the large Estates in Central London) and the acquisition of freeholds subject to leases.
Our client base is diverse, from first-time buyers to mortgagees and sophisticated investors. We also receive instructions though buying agents, property finders and relocation agents.

Investment Property
The Investment Property Team, led by Piers Meadows (Managing Partner), acts for a wide variety of clients, who range from buy-to-let residential property investors to on-shore and off-shore companies and trusts with large commercial unit portfolios.
We work closely with our clients to advise on acquisition and disposal of properties (both commercial and residential), negotiation of lease documentation and managing tenancy disputes. Our client base is mixed and the team’s expertise extends to retail units, offices and warehouses.
The Investor Team advises clients on recovery of rent arrears and where necessary on pursuing these debts through the Courts.
Where our clients are off-shore, we liaise regularly with foreign counsel and professional trustees.
Private Estates!!
Meadows Ryan has particular expertise in dealing with sales and purchases on the Private Estates in Surrey. We have extensive experience of acting for both individuals and developers with properties on St George’s Hill (Weybridge), Burwood Park (Walton on Thames), Wentworth (Virginia Water), Oxshott Way (Cobham) and the Crown Estate (Oxshott).
The property team has full knowledge of the covenants and regulations affecting the Estates and we are often asked by other firms of solicitors for advice on these issues. We have dedicated files for each of the private estates with up-to-date management information so that all matters can be dealt with as efficiently as possible. As well as the Surrey Estates, Meadows Ryan has regular dealings with the London Estates, including Howard de Walden, Cadogan, Grosvenor and The Crown Estate.
