Whether you are purchasing your first home, resolving a boundary dispute, or navigating a complex commercial lease, our solicitors bring clarity and confidence to every step of the property journey.
Discuss your property matter
Every property transaction is different. We follow a structured yet flexible process that keeps you informed and in control from the first conversation to completion.
We begin with a thorough review of your situation. Whether you are a first-time buyer, an investor, or a developer with planning concerns, we identify the legal issues that need attention and outline the likely timeline and costs before any commitment is made.
Our team conducts comprehensive title investigations, local authority searches, environmental assessments and drainage enquiries. We flag risks early — from restrictive covenants to rights of way — so you can make informed decisions before exchanging contracts.
We prepare and review all contractual documentation, negotiate amendments on your behalf, and ensure the terms protect your position. For leases, this includes rent review clauses, break options, repair obligations and service charge provisions.
Once all conditions are satisfied we coordinate the exchange of contracts, manage the transfer of funds, and handle registration with HM Land Registry. After completion we provide you with a full set of title documents for your records.
Property ownership often brings further legal questions — boundary disagreements, tenancy renewals, or planning applications. We remain available for advice long after the initial transaction closes, ensuring continuity and familiarity with your portfolio.
Our expertise covers the full spectrum of property law, from straightforward residential conveyancing to multi-party development agreements.
We handle freehold and leasehold purchases, sales, remortgages and transfers of equity. Our conveyancers manage the process proactively, keeping you updated at every stage and liaising directly with your mortgage lender and estate agent.
From office acquisitions to retail leases and industrial unit disposals, we advise businesses of all sizes. We draft and negotiate heads of terms, agreements for lease, licences to assign, and landlord-and-tenant documentation.
We support developers through site acquisition, option agreements, overage clauses, section 106 obligations and conditional contracts. Our advice helps you structure deals that manage risk while maximising returns on investment.
Boundary disagreements, adverse possession claims, easement disputes and rights of way conflicts can escalate quickly. We work towards pragmatic resolutions — through negotiation, mediation, or litigation when necessary.
If your lease is running short, we advise on statutory lease extension rights under the Leasehold Reform Act, collective enfranchisement, and the right to manage. We negotiate premiums and handle tribunal applications where agreement cannot be reached.
We advise on planning permission applications, appeals, enforcement notices, listed building consent and conservation area restrictions. Our team works alongside planning consultants to give you a joined-up legal and strategic perspective.
A mixed-use development acquisition in the Midlands, completed with conditional contracts and staged payments over 14 months.
The majority settled through negotiation or mediation, saving clients the time and expense of protracted court proceedings.
Statutory and voluntary extensions negotiated for leaseholders across England, with an average premium saving of 12% against initial freeholder demands.
Of all transactions that reached the due-diligence stage, nearly every one progressed to a successful completion without falling through.
Most straightforward purchases or sales complete within eight to twelve weeks from the point of instruction. The timeline depends on factors such as the length of the chain, the speed of local authority searches, and whether your mortgage offer is already in place. We provide realistic estimates at the outset and keep you updated if anything changes.
A freehold means you own the property and the land it sits on outright, with no time limit. A leasehold gives you the right to occupy the property for a fixed period — often 99 or 125 years — subject to the terms of the lease. When a lease drops below about 80 years it can become difficult to mortgage, which is why lease extensions are so important.
While not legally required, professional advice significantly improves your chances of a favourable outcome. Boundary disputes involve interpreting title plans, historical conveyances and Land Registry records — documents that can be ambiguous without expert analysis. Early legal involvement often prevents disputes from escalating to costly litigation.
We provide a detailed fee estimate before you instruct us, covering our professional charges, disbursements such as search fees and Land Registry fees, and any applicable Stamp Duty Land Tax. There are no hidden costs. For standard residential conveyancing we offer fixed-fee packages so you know the total from day one.
Our practice is focused on property law within England and Wales. If your matter involves Scottish, Northern Irish or international property, we can refer you to a trusted firm in the relevant jurisdiction while continuing to advise on any English-law aspects of the transaction.
Whether you have a specific legal question or simply want to understand your options, we are happy to talk. Initial enquiries are always without obligation.
