Residential Conveyancing
Our residential conveyancing service specialises in property purchases, sales, and remortgaging. Led by experienced solicitors, we provide clear guidance through each transaction stage, from initial contracts to completion. Clients benefit from competitive fixed fees, regular updates, and expert handling of leasehold/freehold matters, shared ownership, and auction sales.
Family Law
We handle all aspects of family law including divorce proceedings, child custody arrangements, and financial settlements. Our solicitors offer confidential advice on cohabitation disputes, domestic abuse injunctions, and grandparents' rights. With expertise in mediation and court representation, we prioritise clients' emotional and legal needs during sensitive family transitions.
Commercial Property
Our commercial property team advises on business property transactions, lease negotiations, and landlord-tenant disputes. We assist with acquisitions, disposals, and leasehold management for SMEs and property investors. Services include contract drafting, easement agreements, and compliance with commercial property regulations, ensuring protection of business interests.
Litigation
We represent clients in civil and commercial litigation matters, including contract disputes, debt recovery, and property conflicts. Our approach focuses on early resolution through negotiation or mediation, but we provide robust court representation when necessary. Specialisms include construction disputes, neighbour conflicts, and inheritance claims under the Inheritance Act.
Wills & Probate
Our wills and probate service covers estate planning, lasting powers of attorney, and administration of estates. We assist with creating tailored wills, trust arrangements, and inheritance tax planning. Clients receive compassionate support through probate applications, care home fee advice, and resolution of contested wills under the Inheritance Act.
