Commercial Property
Guy deals with all aspects of commercial property including:
- acquisitions and sales
- the grant of new leases and assignment of existing ones
- 1954 Act renewals and ancillary matters such as licences to sub-let or alter
He acts for both landlords and tenants and handles deals involving a diverse range of property from landmark buildings, in the West End, to kebab shops on Green Lanes. Guy provides his clients with a high quality, specialist service at competitive rates and has a personable ‘can do’ attitude.
Leasehold Reform
Guy also heads up the Leasehold Reform team dealing with

He has substantial experience in this complex area having dealt with it since 2001 and has the support of an excellent specialist property team.
Having qualified in 1998 Guy joined the firm in August 2001. He became a partner in 2006.
Personal interests
Guy enjoys eating, drinking and house music, he also has two young daughters who find him extremely embarrassing!
I have had dealings with Guy Osborn and his colleagues at Osbornes Law since December 2019, during which time I have led a process involving 20 leaseholders in a block of flats in Camden Town. Guy and his colleagues have been impeccably professional, immensely helpful, cordial and attentive. They have always responded quickly and clearly to our queries, and helped us to negotiate the complexities of the process, which has come to a successful conclusion.
It has been nothing but a pleasure to work with Osbornes. I would recommend the firm warmly to anyone.
"Guy has been so helpful. He responded promptly to my queries, explained things clearly, no jargon, and has been warm and human throughout. I felt well supported and would recommend Osbornes to anyone looking for legal help, their service is excellent and fairly priced."
Guy and his team assisted me with a new lease venture and were an absolute pleasure to work with. A professional & knowledgeable team who offered fast and excellent advice. Highly recommend their services
