RSL LAW’s Legal Team Completes London Penthouse Purchase for a Client with Foreign Funds!

A picture of St James's SquareWE DID AGAIN!

RSL LAW recently assisted a buyer with a purchase of an investment property, a luxury apartment in central London. Our client financed the purchase through their China-based company. The transaction presented several challenges, requiring our Team’s expertise to resolve:

  • Complex Corporate Structure & Documentation – the company’s non-UK registration and intricate ownership structure required in-depth verification. Our Team meticulously analysed constitutional documents and financial records related to profit distribution to confirm ownership and the legitimacy of funds intended for the purchase.
  • AML & Sanctions Compliance– our Team conducted extensive Anti-money Laundering and Sanctions Regulations checks on both the company and our client. We used advanced verification tools to confirm financial legitimacy and regulatory compliance, mitigating potential risks often associated with buyers using foreign purchase funds.
  • Client Guidance & Strategic Solutions – we provided tailored legal advice, ensuring the client understood UK property laws and purchase process and the implications of financing a purchase through an overseas entity.

Through our expertise and experience in Complex Funding Structures and AML Compliance, RSL LAW not only safeguarded our client’s interests but also streamlined the process, turning challenges into a successful property acquisition.
