TLT has advised on a multi-million pound sale of a rare 300 year-old “prestigious” Grade I listed freehold building located in the heart of London’s West End, further boosting the UK law firm’s position as experts in the real estate sector.

Neighbouring the famed Ritz Hotel in Mayfair, the building is a former aristocratic residence and Georgian town house, which today is used as luxury offices a stone’s throw from the capital’s most sought after venues.
