Vipal Matwala
Consultant Property Solicitor

I qualified in 2015. I am a property solicitor with extensive experience in commercial and residential property transactions, advising developers, landowners, lenders, borrowers, investors, landlords, and tenants on a broad range of transactions and legal matters.

I practise in the following areas:

  • Commercial Property
  • Property Finance (including secured lending, bridging finance, and development finance)
  • Residential Property

Key expertise:

  • Lease negotiations for landlords and tenants.
  • Asset management, including lease renewals, licenses to assign, underlet, alter, and other LTA issues.
  • Acquisition and disposal of investment properties, as well as residential and mixed-use development sites.
  • Conditional contracts and option agreements.
  • Secured lending, acting for banks, private lenders, and borrowers.
  • Preparing and reviewing auction legal packs for both purchases and sales.
  • Drafting and negotiating deeds of easement, s.106 agreements, pre-emption agreements, overage agreements, and oversailing licenses.

My approach to law is based on providing tailored, pragmatic legal advice that balances thoroughness with commercial awareness. I understand the importance of delivering precise legal solutions while always keeping my clients' goals and time constraints in mind.

I spend much of my spare time with my family, especially my young son, as we explore and discover shared interests together. I also enjoy taking my dog on long walks in country parks, which helps me stay active and connected to nature. I like staying informed about advancements in AI and blockchain technologies, as they continue to shape the future of industries, including law. Additionally, I am a keen supporter of Arsenal Football Club and attend games whenever time allows.
