Trusted legal advice services for medics investing or looking to invest in property

Are you a Healthcare Professional currently investing in property or are interested in investing in property for a second income alongside your medical career? Property investment has become an increasingly appealing avenue for professionals seeking to diversify their income streams and secure their financial future. For many, especially those in demanding careers, the allure lies in the potential to generate passive income while continuing their primary profession uninterrupted. However, this promising venture is not without its complexities and challenges, particularly for healthcare professionals who must navigate both the intricate world of property law and their responsibilities as regulated practitioners. Are you aware of the potential impact this could have on your licence as a healthcare practitioner? Do not rely solely on your property agents to inform or update you about your legal responsibilities as a Property Investor or Landlord. Agents are occupied with managing other properties and may not always have the time or, in some instances, the requisite knowledge to keep you informed about the constant legal changes in operating rental properties, whether you have HMO properties, or in rent -to-rent arrangement, or other types of property investment such as serviced accommodation. Case Studies: Case study 1 One client, a doctor investing in HMO properties, faced a rent repayment claim from former tenants. The stress stemming from the legal issues significantly affected their health and professional responsibilities. Through successful resolution, prosecution was avoided, and potential risks to their medical licence were mitigated. This outcome saved approximately £40,000 in litigation costs, fines, and reputational damage. Case study 2 A medical director with a portfolio of properties, encountered legal problems because their agent failed to deposit a tenant's payment into a government-approved Tenancy Deposit Scheme for one of their rental properties. Additionally, disrepair issues in their property led to tenant complaints, creating a strain within their marriage. After four months of intervention, key legal matters were resolved, and measures were implemented to prevent future complications. Below are some client testimonials highlighting the importance of specialised legal advice: • "Having been a doctor for 15 years and now a medical director, I was very keen to avoid my case escalating to a Court hearing. I moved my file from another law firm after six months of no progress to the firm where Maureen works. Maureen concluded the case in one week! She kept me in the loop the whole week, understood the impact of this case on me, and displayed exceptional professionalism. I highly recommend her to any professional involved in property investments, especially regulated professionals." – Dr E. Okoli, Beds, UK • "Maureen is a specialist in this area of law.

She is helpful, knowledgeable, and highly recommended!" – Mrs S. Aziz, HMO Landlord, UK • "Having managed HMO properties for 20 years and run my own businesses, we thought we knew everything there was to know.
