TLT works with individuals, companies and lenders across a wide range of services and sectors. We look forward to supporting local and national businesses and private clients with their legal requirements, including residential property transactions, commercial property acquisitions and disposals and the funding of such transactions.
TLT remains committed to its strategic vision of investing in its regional offices to broaden its footprint across the UK. Reflecting this ambition, the Belfast office has experienced sustained growth, marked by the appointment of Jonathan O’Hagan as partner within the real estate team.

Jonathan brings valuable cross-border expertise, having spent recent years practising in Dublin. His appointment will strengthen the firm’s national real estate capabilities and further enhance TLT’s integrated ‘all-Ireland’ offering.
The commercial property market has gone from strength to strength in the last year. Increased investment in sustainable office spaces has been one of the driving factors.
The demand for office space in Northern Ireland is driven by robust occupier demand and a shortage of quality stock, with significant investment activity in cities like Leeds and London indicating strong investor interest. This trend is expected to impact Northern Ireland, leading to increased rents and a competitive market for prime office spaces.
We are particularly pleased to be sponsoring the Residential Estate Agency of the Year category at the Belfast Telegraph Property Awards. In 2025, the residential market in Northern Ireland experienced a rise in house prices, driven by strong demand and limited supply, reflecting a competitive and dynamic housing market. This has been reflected in projects we have supported.
Despite retailers in cities and town centres facing widely publicised challenges, TLT remains optimistic. The firm has seen several new entrants into Northern Ireland, with the food and drink offering particularly strong. Leisure offerings are also on the rise, with many businesses branching into multi-offering premises, a lasting trend which emerged following the pandemic.

The market has also benefited from legislative efforts to move the clean energy sector forward. For example, in 2022, the Department for the Economy launched the much-needed proposed renewable electricity support scheme, alongside its first Climate Change Act, which committed Northern Ireland to net zero by 2050. Advances in this space will be instrumental in supporting the future of green buildings in Northern Ireland, which present a wealth of opportunities for the property market.
We are delighted to once more be sharing in the annual recognition of the outstanding individuals and organisations in the property sector, recognising the dedication and excellent work of local agencies.
