He has been involved in a number of notable leasehold enfranchisement cases in the County Court as well as the High Court including the Waterside case.

He is also skilled in acquiring the freehold of high-value houses in central London under the 1967 Act most recently a case where his “dream team” including a QC and senior valuer, acquired the freehold of a prestigious house and mews house in one of London’s premier squares, after the client’s previous advisors failed to appreciate the option available by using creative thinking. Over the years, Graham has also developed niche expertise in the field of “de-enveloping” – the process by which residential property in the UK held in the name of an offshore company is transferred into the personal names of the beneficial owners, which if, handled correctly, does not involve payment of Stamp Duty Land Tax.

He makes clients feel relaxed by the clear explanations he gives and is particularly adept at skilfully managing groups of people no matter how large, in order to carry them with him to achieve the desired goals.
