Your Conveyancer will keep you fully informed at each stage of your transaction and decode any legal jargon so that you understand exactly what is happening.

They will guide you through all the contractual dealings with your buyer and seller’s solicitor and help you to address any queries which arise during your transaction. This includes any enquiries from pre-contractual searches which must be carried out by law.

Their sole aim is to make your experience with us as calm and efficient as possible.
