Hugh Wigzell
Spear’s Review
Hugh Wigzell, head of residential and secured lending at Farrer & Co, qualified as a solicitor in 2012 and was made partner in 2022. He is a residential property specialist focused on high-value conveyancing, also acting for banks and borrowers in secured lending transactions.
Wigzell has extensive experience in acting on the sales and acquisitions of new-build properties – including some of London’s most iconic developments – and often represents buyers based outside of the UK.
Recent examples of his secured lending work include representing a private bank in the refinancing of a property valued at £45 million owned by an off-shore structure, securing a loan of £22.5 million.
