SELLING A PROPERTY

The best way to be prepared for your sale is to have all of the transactional forms and due diligence checks completed before you even have a buyer. By being legally prepared for your sale you can save valuable time on the length of the transaction. We can help you save this time.

RE-MORTGAGES

We understand that the process of re-mortgaging can be just as stressful and difficult as moving home; We have strong working links with mortgage advisors and can complete on the deal that you need.

RESIDENTIAL LEASES

The ramifications of a poorly drafted / checked Lease are far reaching and can lead to unnecessary financial loss or reduced enjoyment of the property. We ensure that no member of ourteam deals with leasehold properties until they have undertaken sufficient training.

SHARED OWNERSHIP / EQUITY

Shared ownership allows you to buy a share of your home (between 25% and 75% of its value) and pay rent on the remaining share. We are experienced in dealing with all aspects of shared ownership property.

EQUITY TRANSFER

There are numerous occasions when a transfer of equity would be required; divorce, the addition of a member of the family or when it simply makes financial sense. You need to make sure that you receive the correct advise and that this is communicated to all parties in a timely manner. You can be sure that we’ll provide you with the correct expertise whatever the circumstance.

NEW BUILDS

When purchasing a new build property you need to ensure that you comply with developers deadlines and that the property is fit for habitation. You need to ensure that all services are connected, accessways un-hindered and warranties in place. Our comprehensive knowledge and extensive experience in this area means that you can buy your new home with peace of mind.

PURCHASING A PROPERTY

We have found that purchase transactions slow down because of two reasons; unnecessary enquiries being raised by the purchasing conveyancer and conveyancers not utilising updated solutions and procedures (e.g. the use of indemnity insurance policies) We can guarantee that our procedures will not only be safe and compliant but also as efficient as possible.
