We do one thing. We act only in residential conveyancing — no litigation, no family law, no distractions. That focus is why developers, agents and lenders in the UK and overseas refer their buyers to us.
Volume expertise
Thousands of completions across the UK — often in the very development you are buying into.
Developer fluency
Off-plan contracts, assignments and block purchases are our daily work, not an occasional file.
Remote by design
Identity checks, signing and funds handled securely — from the next county or the other side of the world.
Direct access
A named solicitor and assistant on every matter — and someone who speaks your language.
Tailored to the transaction, agreed at the outset.
For most residential purchases, sales and re-financing, our legal fees typically range from £2,000 to £5,000 plus VAT and disbursements, depending on the nature of the transaction.
Our legal fees are tailored to the particular transaction and will depend on factors including the property value, whether the property is freehold or leasehold, whether the buyer is an individual or corporate entity, any mortgage finance or donor funding involved and the complexity and timescale of the matter.
We will discuss and agree our fees with you at the outset of your transaction, providing a clear estimate of costs. Should unforeseen issues arise that materially increase the scope or complexity of the work required, we will discuss any revised fees with you before incurring additional charges.
Any hourly rates will be confirmed in advance and based on the expertise and experience of the relevant lawyer.
Disbursements
Disbursements are third-party costs that we pay on your behalf during the conveyancing process. Typical disbursements include:
