Edmund Fetherston-Dilke

Spear's Review

‘Priorities for overseas buyers investing in the UK remain value, asset protection, education and the rule of law,’ says Farrer & Co partner Edmund Fetherston-Dilke, whose landed estates clients include the Duchy of Cornwall, which has land holdings in excess of 130,000 acres. 

He is seeing ‘more residential transactions where the shares are bought in the entity holding the property’, which can lead to ‘eye-watering tax and cross-jurisdictional work’. No stranger to deals in the £10-20 million range, he is noted for his ‘willingness to help and achieve a workable solution at a cost-effective rate’.

His recent work includes the purchase of an estate of over 4,000 acres and the acquisition of ‘the most valuable English country house’.
