OUR SERVICES
Conveyancing
Buying and selling property involves a large number of legal issues with every case being different. We offer a service tailored specifically to you, dealing with any individual concerns, creating and collating all necessary documents and conferring with the solicitors of those you are buying from or selling to.
If you are selling a property after a long period of time, it is likely that laws have changed or been introduced since you bought the property. Our conveyancing team are always up-to-date with new issues and can help ensure that everything runs smoothly, making it quicker and easier for you. While you can trust our highly experienced team to take the load off of your hands, we understand how important it is to communicate with our clients every step of the way, discussing circumstances and options and being upfront about incurring costs.
We will also look into those things that might have slipped your mind, ensuring that every aspect is covered including land registries, mortgages, and any impending council plans for changes to the local area.

If the matter does not proceed to completion, work done and payments made up to that point remain chargeable.
There are normally other charges incurred for leasehold properties, where invariably there is a landlord (freeholder), and/or a management company involved in maintenance and they charge for this information.
When the purchase matter is completed, notice charges are claimed by the freeholders’ agents for the accepting and acknowledging your replacement title in the property as leasehold owners. However, we would keep you informed in advance as to when such charges are incurred on your behalf.
