Conveyancing (Buying or selling a property)

(Buying or selling a property)

Our Residential Conveyancing Department is particularly successful and we expect it to continue to grow in size and to continue to develop its combination of personal contact and use of technology, even if the property market begins to slow down.

We will see you to discuss your home move without any commitment by you before you instruct us.

We particularly recommend that you contact us before putting your house on the market or making an offer for another house, or instructing a distant, large-volume Conveyancer recommended by an Estate Agent.

We place particular emphasis on keeping you informed and on enabling you to move on the date you choose rather than that which is most convenient to us.

We manage to provide a superior standard of service without charging the highest rates because of a combination of hard work and good use of modern Information Technology but without prejudice to the personal and unique nature of each transaction.

We are not cut-price but believe that we give you very good value particularly in comparison with some of the centralised Conveyancers, which may be recommended to you by national firms of Estate Agents. You'll find our friendly, personal approach highly refreshing. You are a Person, not a File.

While much of Conveyancing is routine, you need to know that we will be watching out for difficulties and, if they arise, helping you through them sympathetically and efficiently.

The usual stages of buying or selling a property are:

The buyer and seller agree a price (usually through agents)
The Sellers' Solicitors send papers to Buyers' Solicitors. Searches and enquiries are made by the Buyers' Solicitor and finance arranged for the Buyers.
When everyone is ready (5-6 weeks) Contracts are Exchanged. You are then committed to your sale or purchase on an agreed date (usually 2-3 weeks later).
Completion day i.e. money is paid and you actually move.

If you complete the Conveyancing Estimate Form we will reply within one working day of receipt of the request. (If you do not receive a response within one working day then we would be grateful if you would telephone us.)

Landlord & Tenant Matters

Mr David Farmer can assist on issues regarding Landlord & Tenant matters. To speak to him please telephone 01209 213646 or use our standard contact form to get in touch.

Commercial property

This work is far less routine than most residential Conveyancing, whether it is freehold or leasehold. With our experience and standards we help you to avoid bad purchases or leases and to complete good ones quickly but after consideration of all relevant matters. Often there are important aspects which do not occur to you or which only become known when investigations have been made.

Please visit us or telephone 01209 213646 to speak to Mr Thurstan Hoskin.
