Whilst it is commonly accepted that moving house is a stressful event, we will do everything possible to ensure that the process runs as smoothly as possible. We provide detailed information, in straightforward terms, about exactly what is involved at each stage of the transaction. A dedicated lawyer will look after your matter from start to finish, and you will always be able to contact a member of the team by telephone or by email to deal with your queries along the way. We also offer clients the facility to monitor their transactions online. Our lines of communication help to coordinate all those concerned in a transaction and maximise the chances of a successful result.
We are accredited members of the Law Society’s Conveyancing Quality Scheme (CQS) which provides a recognised quality standard in residential conveyancing. We annually undergo an assessment by the Law Society in order to secure our CQS accreditation, which indicates that our residential conveyancing process is reviewed each year so that we can continue to improve our standards and give you the assurance that we will provide a high professional standard together with excellent customer service. We take pride in providing a personal yet professional service. We conduct detailed due diligence so that clients have peace of mind and can proceed with confidence.
A significant proportion of our work comes to us from recommendations from existing clients, estate agents and mortgage brokers who have heard of or experienced first-hand our excellent client care.
Our Expertise
All types of conveyancing transactions can be handled, whether you are a first-time buyer, need increased space to cope with a growing family or are down-sizing to free up some capital.
Our team can assist with the sale or purchase of an investment property and the associated paperwork, including mortgages, tenancy agreements and deposit schemes. Our Dispute Resolution colleagues can advise when there are arrears of rent or if you have problem Tenants.
Whether you have one second home or several tenanted properties we can advise with regard to the Tenancy Agreements and the service of any notices to bring those to an end. We can also offer assistance with regard to Tenant’s deposit schemes to make sure that the rules are followed.
Moving your mortgage from one lender to another has become increasingly popular as lenders offer competitive rates in relation to interest and repayment terms. We can undertake all of the legal work required to repay your existing mortgage and complete the new lender’s documentation in accordance with their requirements.
We also deal with Help To Buy Redemptions.
By purchasing a property at Auction you can pick up a real bargain. You do need to make sure that you speak with our team of Lawyers before you bid so that we can check the terms of the Contract and the Title to the property concerned. If you are selling at Auction we can prepare the necessary Auction Pack and ensure that the legal aspects of the transaction are completed correctly.
There may be a number of reasons why a transfer to another member of your family is required, for example, for divorce or for sound tax planning purposes. Expert legal advice is essential, and we can liaise with our colleagues in the Private Client Department to ensure that any additional advice on tax implications or any possible impact on other family members is provided.
