What James's clients say...
Newmanor Law are a pleasure to work with. James provides pragmatic, commercial advice and has contributed greatly to both the Hallcroft Investment Club strategy and our processes. Highly recommended!
Ian Stockdale
Director, Hallcroft Finance
I am a residential developer who recently completed the construction of luxury apartments in the London Borough of Bromley. The real estate and real estate finance team at Newmanor, in particular James, Karen, Edmund and Mandy, assisted with the development lease for the site, the financing for the development and the long leases for the apartments. The service provided was excellent. The team do what they say, they push the transaction and then tell me where we are up to. Very responsive and all for a genuine fixed fee. I am happy to recommend Newmanor Law’s services.

We needed to complete two mezzanine development loans within two weeks to hit the CBILS deadline. Newmanor got the job done, without cutting any corners. We provide relatively small mezzanine development loans. We need expert lawyers, but at a price that fits with our loan size. Newmanor’s fixed fee approach gives us and our clients comfort that legal bills won’t spiral out of control.
