Buying or selling property in Guernsey?

As one of Guernsey's leading law firms, Mourant Ozannes has some of the most experienced and respected advocates, lawyers and conveyancers with the essential understanding of the island's distinctive and complex property law.

With an area of just 25 square miles and a population of 60,000 it is not surprising that land in Guernsey is at a premium. To make matters more complicated, the island is divided into 28,000 parcels of land, containing over 49,000 buildings. This has led to the unique Guernsey property law - a distinctive and complex area of law concerning the rights and obligations of owners and occupiers of land.

Mourant Ozannes' Property team are involved in practically all commercial property transactions in the island, advising landlords, tenants, developers and lenders in the complex transactions taking place in the island.
The team also specialises in the purchase and sale of open and local market residential properties, whether completed by conveyance or the acquisition of share capital of a property holding company. The inheritance implications of such transactions are also vital to consider and advice on these aspects is always given.

The department is also renowned in the field of lease law and advises on all legal aspects of commercial and residential letting.
The planning regime on the island is strict and policy-based. Comprehensive advice can also be provided as to the planning laws and grievances arising from decisions of the Environment Department.
