What We Do for You
You're not simply purchasing a property. You're accepting legal responsibilities for it from structure, ownership, rights of way, hidden clauses, and more.
Our job is to make sure:
The legal title is clean
There are no surprises hidden in the deeds, no missing rights, and no restrictions that could cause future issues. We ensure that the property you're buying is free from any legal complications.
The contract protects you
We scrutinise every clause. If anything feels one-sided or risky, we bring it to your attention.
You know what you're buying
We explain the results of local searches, planning history, and whether any factors surrounding the property could impact its value or use.
Your mortgage works with the deal
If you're buying with finance, we liaise with your lender to make sure everything aligns.
The process moves forward
We push things along when others stall. We chase, coordinate, and get things ready for exchange, the point at which the contract becomes legally binding. We then ensure a smooth completion, where funds are transferred, documents signed, and keys released without you needing to micromanage.
You're registered properly
We liaise with the Land Registry, a government department responsible for registering the ownership of land and property in England and Wales, to ensure the legal record accurately reflects your ownership and any outstanding mortgage.
You're advised, not just processed
If a decision carries risk, we'll explain it. If there's a more straightforward path, we'll tell you. You won't be left guessing.
How We Work
We don't assume you're a legal expert, and we don't expect you to chase us for updates. We keep things clear, move at pace, and speak like normal people. You'll get:
Regular, plain-English updates
Practical guidance on any risks or complications
Fast responses to calls and emails
A single point of contact, wherever possible
We work efficiently, but we don't cut corners. If something isn't right, we'll say so. If it's fine, we won't make it sound complicated. And if someone in the chain needs chasing, we'll be the ones to do it.
Fees and Costs
We offer transparent, fixed-fee quotes, so you know precisely what to budget. There are no hidden extras, no nasty surprises.
Disbursements (such as search fees and Land Registry fees) are charged at cost and clearly explained in your quote. If the property raises unexpected legal issues (e.g., unregistered title, leasehold complications), we'll notify you before undertaking any additional work.
