With a wealth of experience, our residential property team can offer advice in the following areas:

Buying and Selling Freehold and Leasehold Property

Whether you are buying or selling a property, there are all sorts of key details to get right, from drafting and reviewing contracts of sale to negotiating amendments, making sure the right checks and searches are carried out and ensuring the funds are transferred at the right time.

Our conveyancing solicitors can provide seasoned support to ensure everything is taken care of the right way. We can help the sale to go ahead smoothly and on schedule, while making sure you stay protected both during the conveyancing process and once the deal is done.

New Build Property (and Shared Ownership) 

We can advise you on all aspects of buying a new-build property, including the standard conveyancing process and the various specific issues that need to be considered when buying a new-build, including warranties and the processes for dealing with any issues with the property.

Grants of Leases

If you are buying or selling leasehold property, we can guide you through the process, as well as advising you on issues such as leasehold enfranchisement and understanding the implications of properties with leases with close to or less than 80 years remaining on the lease.

Buying and Selling Properties at Auction

It’s essential to be prepared before buying or selling property at auction, so we can advise you on all the issues you need to consider, such as having the right finance in place and the strict deadlines for completing an auction purchase.

Remortgaging

If you are planning to remortgage, we can help make the process as smooth and straightforward as possible, including dealing with any checks and searches and handling transfer of funds.

Buy to Let

Whether you are investing in your first rental property, refinancing, or expanding your portfolio, we can offer the experienced, tailored advice you need to get the right property and finance with the right terms to facilitate a good return on investment.

Bridging Loans

If you need short-term finance to buy a property or finance construction work, we can advise you on using bridging finance and help ensure a fast turnaround time so you can secure the finance you need when you need it.

Unregistered Land

We have strong experience handling land that is not registered with the Land Registry, so can help you swiftly and smoothly register the property where necessary for selling, leasing, mortgaging or other purposes.

Transfers of Equity

If you need to transfer ownership of a property due to marriage, divorce, a death in the family, or other reasons, we can guide you through the process, helping it to go ahead as quickly and cost-effectively as possible.
