Contact Details: Ash Oberoi Housing and Property Law Partnership 1-2 Bolt Court, London, EC4A 3DQ Tel: + 44 (0) 20 3603 4604 Email: aoberoi@housingandproperty.co.uk Web: www.housingandproperty.co.uk Ash Oberoi This is what his clients say about him: “As a director of Petticrow Quays Freehold Ltd, I instructed Ash Oberoi of HPLP Solicitors to act for me and 45 other leaseholders to acquire the freehold interest from our large property developer Landlord. Ash’s knowledge in the field was excellent and he guided us through the process and its twist and turns very well. HPLP know their law and managed to keep this purchase within the Statutory Timetable. As I understand it this purchase was far more complex as it involved acquiring the freehold of 3 parcels of unregistered land so Ash’s combined conveyancing and enfranchisement law expertise was invaluable in seeing this matter through to successful completion” Dennis Cheek (Director) - Petticrow Quays Freehold Limited
