Manish Patel

Partner

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.
