Residential Property Solicitors
Efficient, reliable residential property legal services tailored to your needs – with clear communication, transparent pricing, and expert conveyancing support.
Buying or selling a home is often one of the biggest decisions we’ll ever make. It’s not just a financial transaction – it’s about security, lifestyle, and our future. Whether we’re moving into our first home, downsizing, or relocating for work or family, there’s a lot to think about. Having the right legal support can make all the difference.
We’ve worked with clients across every type of residential property matter – from straightforward purchases to more complex sales involving leaseholds, shared ownership schemes, or unregistered land. Over the years, we’ve seen how much smoother and less stressful things can be when there’s clear communication, prompt action, and someone on your side who knows the process inside out. That’s exactly what we aim to deliver with every case we handle.
Our team brings both experience and a proactive approach to each stage of a residential property transaction. We understand the tight deadlines that can often come with property chains and how frustrating delays can be. That’s why we keep things moving, update you regularly, and ensure your interests are protected at every turn.

If you’re part of a chain, we’ll keep things on track and ensure deadlines are met. If issues arise, we explain your options clearly and act quickly to protect your interests.
Specialist Leasehold Support
Leasehold properties require a more detailed legal review than freehold ones. We manage the lease examination, liaise with freeholders and managing agents, and ensure compliance with lease terms. We also advise on lease extensions and service charge obligations.
Help to Buy & Shared Ownership
We’ve supported many clients purchasing through schemes such as Help to Buy and Shared Ownership. These purchases can be time-sensitive and legally complex, but our team is well-versed in working with housing associations and government schemes to keep the process running smoothly.
Remortgaging and Transfers of Equity
We offer fixed-fee legal services for those:
Remortgaging to a new lender
Adding or removing someone from the title
Structuring ownership following divorce or separation
We handle all legal formalities including Land Registry submissions and lender coordination.

FAQs – Residential Property Legal Services
How long does residential conveyancing take?
Most freehold transactions complete within 8–12 weeks. Leasehold and shared ownership properties may take slightly longer due to extra documentation and third-party involvement. We always keep you informed at each step.
Do I need a solicitor if I’m a cash buyer?
Yes. Even without a mortgage, you need a solicitor to verify title, manage contracts, carry out searches, and complete registration with the Land Registry.
Are your services available nationwide and international?
Yes – we act for clients across England, Wales and international, and can handle all matters by phone, email, and post if you’re not local to our office.
What happens if my property chain collapses?
We’ll support you through the next steps, whether that’s renegotiating, finding another buyer, or pausing the process. In many cases, your searches can still be reused.
