Meet Wenxi

I initially came to the UK from China to study in 2005, before moving to South Korea in 2011 and living in San Jose (USA) for a year. Having obtained a LLM in International Business Law from the University of Manchester and both LLB and LLM Honours degrees from the University of Law, I qualified as a UK solicitor.

Upon my return to the UK in 2015, I began my journey within the real estate industry. I focused on residential conveyancing, dealing with all matters relating to residential property, whilst also undertaking commercial property transactions. My experience includes acting for high-net-worth-individuals, companies, property developers and banks.

I am familiar with the issues and obstacles overseas buyers encounter when they are investing in the UK property market. I provide a bespoke and premium service to my clients and am particularly experienced in acting for high-net-worth-individuals from Asia investing in prime location properties in London. My background, language skills and professionalism ensure the conveyancing process my clients experience is efficient and smooth. 

Outside of work, I love spend time with my family, especially my daughter. I love running, ice skating, play golf and skiing.

“我和我先生再次感谢您的帮助并保证房产的交易完成。我在过程中对在英国购置房产及贷款事项学习很多,尽管环节多,但是收获丰富,对于我是非常宝贵的生活经历。再次感谢您和你的团队”

Wenxi and Christine at Lawrence Stephens have been very diligent, excellent at communicating and explaining processes and documents that were not always clear to me. Always kept me informed of every detail. The process of purchasing my home in London went smoothly and swiftly thanks to them. I am very happy with their services.
