Conveyancing

Making your next move easy.

We have over 20 years’ experience in conveyancing, handling both residential and commercial transactions. Our experienced conveyancing team provides legal assistance and advice on sales and purchases throughout the South Lakes and Furness areas. We can advise on re-mortgages and transfers within families, as well as all aspects of commercial property including shops and offices, industrial units, retail and leisure developments and large residential estates.

Residential conveyancing

Our experienced residential conveyancing team operates out of four offices and provides legal assistance and advice on residential sales and purchases throughout the South Lakes and Furness areas – whether or not your house is listed for sale with us.

We offer a caring, personal and efficient service to get you moving as quickly and with as little stress as possible, managing purchases, re-mortgages and transfers within families, and many other property-related issues.

We are regulated by the Council of Licensed Conveyancers that provides reassurance to lenders and buyers alike and have over 100 years’ combined conveyancing experience. We can also help you obtain a mortgage or offer advice on how to best invest the proceeds of your sale, too.

On average it takes around 14 weeks from agreeing a sale on a property to completion. This can of course take longer if the property is leasehold, unregistered or there are a large chain of properties.

Our Conveyancing online quote calculator can provide you with a quote for a straightforward freehold sale or purchase transaction. Some cases, however, can be substantially more complex or have unexpected issues, such as the legal title being defective. In those instances, additional fees may be payable. Details will be provided if and when they arise and we will agree any additional fees with you first.

You also may require additional searches including an Environmental search, however, this is not necessary on many properties. If this is needed it will be discussed with you by your Conveyancer

For Leasehold properties the landlord is likely to charge a Lessor's Registration Fee. This fee is not included within the quote as it is at the landlord's discretion and cannot be known without first contacting the landlord.

Money Laundering - In order to comply with Money Laundering legislation, we are required to verify the identity of all clients. To supplement paper copies of the identification documents we obtain for each client, we also use an on-line ID verification service.

"Friendly, helpful and efficient service. Very clear as to what was happening and necessary at each stage. Accommodated our circumstances well."
