Residential Property

Arranging the lease, purchase, sale or mortgage of property can be one of the most important aspects of your life, and we provide the assistance to remove the stress of legal considerations.

We can also advise on other related issues such as landlord and tenant matters, restrictive covenants, rights of access, breach of lease terms, lease renewals and extensions, boundary disputes, party walls and enfranchisement.

Buying a home is always an exciting prospect. Without the help of an experienced solicitor it can also be a legal minefield. We are here to help you avoid potential problems and to protect your interests at every step, from making an offer to getting the keys to the door.

For your part you will need to be confident that you can always get hold of your solicitor and we can be contacted by phone, email or fax.

Details required at the outset of a purchase:

• Some personal identification
• The price of the property
• Any factors that may influence the exact time you want to buy the property
• How you are planning to pay for the property
• Whether you have applied for a mortgage
• Whether you plan to carry out any work on the property
• Whether you are buying with someone else
• Whether the seller is buying another property
• Whether you have a property to sell

Buying a property may introduce other related legal matters:

• If you are buying a home with someone you are not married to, it is advisable to enter into a “Deed of Trust” to set out what share of the property each person owns
• If you do not have a will, you should consider making one
• If you do have a will, you may need to update it

In all cases we can offer you legal advice as part of a complete professional service.
