Your Property
Residential Property
In every survey of ‘life’s most stressful events’, moving house comes out near the top. Our Residential Property team is here to help make the whole process of buying and/or selling as swift, smooth and painless as possible.
We act for buyers and sellers (in practice, you are often both at the same time) across the whole residential property spectrum, including remortgaging, buy-to-let, freehold and leasehold. We also have specialist expertise in rural properties, which can involve complexities such as private roads and drainage, rights of way and common land.
Whatever you are buying or selling, you will have the peace of mind that comes from working with members of the Law Society’s Conveyancing Quality Scheme (CQS), which sets the highest professional standards for conveyancing and service.
