Property and Conveyancing
We have a wealth of expertise in property, with a well established commercial and residential property department. We also deal with property transactions within the family and implement the many property related transactions arising from our other client services, such as the sale of a property as a result of divorce or bereavement.
One of the leading commercial property law firms in the area.
Commercial Property
We act for a number of business owners and property developers throughout the region, including some well known local names and others with a national presence.
We can help with:
- Acquiring and selling freehold and leasehold commercial property
- Taking up or granting commercial leases
- Buying property for development
- Developing sites and selling properties
- Acquiring or disposing of retail and office units
Residential Property
We have a long established residential property department providing a personal service to buyers and sellers in all areas of the property market.
Buying or selling a home can be a stressful experience. It is our role as experienced residential property lawyers to ensure that the transaction is handled thoroughly and as quickly and efficiently as the circumstances allow.
Implementation and inter-family transactions
This area of our service covers all property matters arising within a family or out of our other areas of work. It is often seen by other firms as less important work. We do not agree. It has its own unique problems and by recognising its importance, our staff have built up the experience to deal with matters with understanding and competence.
Examples of the work we can carry out:
- Property and policy transfers and sales following divorce or separation
- Property transfers or sales as part of the administration of an estate following death
- Advising property occupiers where the owner is taking a mortgage
- Advising parents on lending money to a child to help in the purchase of a property
- Structuring property ownership where parents live with their children
- Transferring property within a family, possibly for tax saving purposes
- Advising on equity release schemes
- Preparing Declarations of Trust and Living Together Agreements for unmarried and same sex couples
