Conveyancing

Whether you are moving home, buying your first property, expanding your property portfolio, re-mortgaging, or transferring the ownership of your property to another person or persons, we will give you a truly personal and professional service at very competitive rates.

Buying, selling or transferring a property is likely to be one of the most significant transactions you will ever undertake. We understand that moving home can be very stressful in itself, so it can be very reassuring to have face-to-face meetings with an experienced specialist. We will advise you fully about all aspects of your matter so that you have peace of mind knowing that you are in safe hands from start to finish.

We offer a comprehensive range of searches, covering issues such as; any previous mining at properties, planning and road issues, water searches, searches to show any liability for chancel repair, environmental searches to reveal any potential local contamination and mobile phone mast/electricity pylons etc in the area. We can also arrange for energy performance surveys, so you know how energy efficient a property will be before you move. Where necessary, we can also provide you with quotes for suitable indemnity insurance to protect you against any future problems that may be revealed with the property.

Our specialist advisors also provide a wide range of additional services and can deal with issues such as the removal of restrictions, leasehold registration, the preparation of a statutory declaration, first registration of unregistered property at the Land Registry, the preparation of tenancy agreements, all at fixed prices.

Please contact us to discuss your particular requirements and obtain a no-obligation quote.
