Firm strengthens residential property team with partner hire

Cripps has appointed Simon Main as a partner in its London-based residential conveyancing team. He joins from Streathers (West End), bringing significant experience in high-value residential transactions, including freehold and leasehold acquisitions, disposals, landlord and tenant matters, and development work.

Main advises a diverse client base, from high-net-worth individuals and property investors to developers, and is recognised for combining technical expertise with practical, commercially focused advice. He will play a central role in strengthening the firm’s residential property team, particularly in the high-value London market.

His recent practice highlights include advising on multi-million-pound plot acquisitions and development finance deals, as well as acting on residential site purchases across London. He has also handled transactions exceeding £10 million in some of the capital’s most prestigious postcodes.

Commenting on his move, Main said: ‘I’m thrilled to join Cripps and work alongside such a talented team. The firm’s reputation for exceptional client service and its commercial, solutions-focused approach align perfectly with my own.’ Rebecca Hughes, partner and head of the residential team, added: ‘His strong track record and specialist knowledge will be a great asset to our team as we continue to expand our work in the high-value residential property space.
