Manish Patel
I joined the Crane & Staples Property department in 2018 and became a Partner in April 2022.
Having come from a science background, I qualified as a solicitor in 2006. I trained at a small firm in London and have also worked at a medium sized regional firm, and a UK top 100 law firm.
I am a specialist in all aspects of residential and commercial conveyancing, including:
- Freehold transactions
- Remortgages
- Informal Lease extensions
- Development and Real Estate Financing
- Commercial and bridging loans
- Option agreements
- Commercial property sales and purchases
- Commercial leases
- Asset Purchase Agreements
- Land sales and acquisitions.
I have established an ever-growing and loyal client base consisting of residential buyers, small businesses, property investors, developers, and portfolio landlords. I work heavily with limited companies who acquire, sell and refinance their property portfolios. I have a particular interest in Asset Purchase Agreements, the transactions of care homes and mixed use premises, and properties for development.
I take pride in providing methodical, professional and client centric service.
I am also the firm’s training principal responsible for the recruitment, training and mentoring of trainee solicitors.
In 2019, I was a finalist in the Company and Commercial Lawyer category at the national Asian Legal Awards, going one better in 2021 when I was New Business Champion of the Year at British Conveyancing Awards.
