Moving home can be a stressful but exciting time and we aim to make the experience as painless as possible and to guide you seamlessly through all the different stages of the process, from receipt of your initial instructions, through to exchange of contracts and completing your sale or purchase.
Our team of residential lawyers combine a personal service with their individual expertise and they have broad experience of the sales and purchases of both freehold and leasehold properties and in connection with mortgages and re-mortgage transactions.
We believe that Communication between all parties is key to a residential transaction proceeding smoothly. We try to keep both client, agent and solicitors advised of the current position. This ensures that tight exchange deadlines can always met when parties need to proceed quickly.
A large percentage of our transactions are returning clients or from referrals to their family and friends.
Our involvement goes beyond simply dealing with the legal aspects of a transaction. We discuss with clients the most appropriate marketing policy for existing properties and the best type of survey arrangements for a proposed acquisition.
Our team has over 130 years of collective experience in delivering high quality work in all matters relating to conveyancing. We have six members of the team who may work on your matter. Each has a proven track record and we are proud of our solid and well regarded reputation for residential property work and we believe that our individual approach to each client’s specific needs helps to overcome any difficulties that may be encountered.
