High-Value Freehold Purchase for a Licensed Purchaser migrating from the UK


Supporting high-value residency moves to Jersey

Property Value: circa £1.7 million
Location: Rural Parish, Jersey
Client Profile: Licensed individual relocating from the United Kingdom

Background

Client, relocating to Jersey under a Licensed status, required a seamless purchase of a high-value freehold property as their primary residence. Licensed status allows certain individuals to occupy property that would otherwise be restricted under Jersey’s housing laws, but the process involves strict compliance checks and timely coordination with the client’s employer.

  • Financing & Tax
    Advised on loan security documentation and  stamp duty. Coordinated cross-border funds transfer and AML compliance.
  • Completion & Registration
    Managed Royal Court attendance.

Challenges

  • Tight relocation timeline (six weeks to coincide with employment start date)
  • Cross-border compliance for UK funds transfer

Outcome

The transaction was completed on time and without issue, enabling the client to relocate smoothly. Our client praised our clear communication, efficient handling of regulatory requirements, and discreet, professional service.
