Services

PAXTON-PENMAN et al is a firm that specialises in all aspects of property and business matters.

The Partners have strategically analysed what skill sets are required to attend to all your property and business needs, so as to provide solutions which address the complexity of clients' desires in protecting assets, accumulating wealth, and preparing for succession. The rationale for this is that property ownership is not an isolated experience, it affects all aspects of peoples lives, and it is also impacted by all aspects of peoples lives. Thus, we wanted a firm which would recognise the need for holistic advice and forward planning.
