Specialists in Conveyancing and Property Law
Our conveyancing solicitors understand that buying and selling your home can be very stressful. We have a team of experienced conveyancing solicitors handling house and flat sales throughout Wiltshire, Hampshire and Dorset – and further afield. We provide expert and independent legal advice to ensure you know exactly what you are buying in the conveyancing process.
Our property solicitors can help you with:
- Purchase and Sale of houses and flats
- Remortgages
- Freehold or Leasehold property
- Preparation of Leases and Tenancy Agreements
- Leasehold enfranchisement and leasehold extension work
- Transfer of Equity
- Equity Release Schemes

Conveyancing needs regular contact between client, solicitor and estate agent to minimise delay and ease your move. You need to be confident you can get hold of your solicitor. We can be contacted by phone or email and if your conveyancing solicitor is unavailable for any reason there will always be another team member able to help you.
Our property solicitors provide:
- A FREE first discussion in the office or on the phone to answer any questions and get you off to the right start
- A written conveyancing quote of the fixed fee legal costs of buying and selling your house or flat – without 'hidden extra conveyancing costs'
- A full written report before exchange of contracts
- Regular contact and progress updates
Our sophisticated Case Management System manages routine paperwork leaving our conveyancing lawyers free to deal with you, your Estate Agent and others involved in the property transaction.
Energy Performance Certificates
You no longer need a HIP to sell your property but you must still provide an Energy Performance Certificate (EPC). We can organise these for you, working with local EPC surveyors – simply contact our conveyancing team.
Free Deed Storage
Our conveyancing solicitors can store your house deeds free of charge in our fire-proof storage.
Buying a Property
Once you find your dream home and have your offer accepted, instruct your conveyancer immediately. If you need a mortgage to buy the property make getting that mortgage your priority – or risk delay later. Once instructed, your solicitor will obtain the estate agent’s Memorandum of Sale giving details of the sale and a Seller’s Package (including the draft contract, details of title and property information). Your conveyancing solicitor then makes a local search – dealing with issues including planning permission and whether your property is in a conservation area etc.
Selling a Property
First find your buyer. Don't forget if you use an estate agent to consider how commission will be paid. Our conveyancing solicitors can advise whether sole agency, multiple agency or joint sole agency is right for you.
Remortgaging

Transfers of Equity
When partnerships or marriages end, often one owner buys the other's share. The value of this share ( known as equity ) is the difference between the outstanding mortgage and your home's current value. It is essential that the property transfer is recognised in law to ensure the owner selling their share is released from any commitment and mortgage on the property.
