I have written this site as a Barbican resident, but I am also as a solicitor whose firm has handled a lot of Barbican transactions over the years.
Anyway, this is my sales pitch, because if you're buying or selling, we would like to act for you. We know quite a lot about the Barbican - you probably realise that from reading this site. And the Barbican is one place where detailed local knowledge really does matter. The lease, the service charges, the rules about alterations, the complicated split between private and public areas, these all make the Barbican different. Even the temperature is different - the Barbican is about 2 degrees warmer than London. I can't tell you why that is, but we can answer all the other questions which can come up when you buy a home here.
Many of the local estate agents who specialise in Barbican properties recommend us. They appreciate the specialist knowledge we bring to transactions. We know how to get round most of the problems which come up. We also know how to spot some problems which may not be immediately obvious - and then deal with them.
If you are thinking of buying or selling, please give us a call and we will be happy to discuss your transaction with you. Please also have a look at our firm's website, www.barrettssolicitors.co.uk which will give you a lot of advice and pointers on buying and selling residential property.
