Areas of Law

Conveyancing, Housing and Property

Buying, selling or dealing with property can involve significant financial decisions and important legal responsibilities. Our conveyancing, housing and property team can help guide you through the process, explain what needs to happen and keep you informed as your matter progresses.

We advise on buying and selling property, remortgaging, buying at auction, investment and buy-to-let properties, transfer of title, planning law and possession proceedings. If you are moving home, refinancing, investing in property or dealing with a housing issue, contact us for clear advice before making your next decision.

Buying and Selling Property

Buying or selling a home can be one of the most important transactions you will ever make. We can help with the legal work, raise and answer enquiries, review documents and guide you through the process from instruction to completion.

If you are planning a move, contact us for a conveyancing quote and practical guidance on the next steps.

Remortgaging

If you are remortgaging your property, we can help with the legal formalities required by your new lender and deal with the transfer from your existing mortgage arrangements.

Taking advice early can help avoid delays and make sure the legal side of the remortgage is handled properly.

Buying at Auction

Buying property at auction can move quickly and carries legal risk if the paperwork is not checked before you bid. We can review the auction pack, explain key issues and help you understand what you are committing to.

If you are considering an auction purchase, contact us before bidding so that you can make a more informed decision.

Investment and Buy-to-Let Properties

Investment and buy-to-let property transactions can involve additional legal and financial considerations. We can help investors understand the property documents, title issues and legal steps involved before completion.

If you are buying an investment property, contact us for advice before committing to the transaction.

Transfer of Title

A transfer of title may be needed where ownership of a property is changing, for example, between family members, partners or co-owners. We can help prepare the necessary documentation and explain the legal effect of the transfer.

If you need to add or remove someone from a property title, speak to us about the process and any issues that may need to be considered.

Possession Proceedings

Possession proceedings can involve strict procedural requirements and important legal consequences for landlords and tenants. We can advise on the process, notices and the steps that may be required.

If you are dealing with a possession issue, early advice can help you understand your position and avoid avoidable mistakes.

Planning Law

Planning issues can affect property owners, developers, landlords, tenants and businesses. We can advise on planning law matters connected to property and help you understand the potential legal implications before taking action.

If you are facing a planning concern or need advice before proceeding with a property decision, contact us to discuss the issue.

Wills, Powers of Attorney and Probate

Planning for the future can give you and your family greater certainty. We advise on wills, powers of attorney, probate, estate administration, inheritance and tax planning, and will and inheritance disputes.

Whether you need to make a will, update an existing will, put a power of attorney in place or deal with an estate after someone has died, our team can explain the process and help you take the next step.

Making a Will

Making a will is one of the most important ways to record your wishes and protect those close to you. We can help prepare a will that reflects your circumstances and gives clear instructions for the future.

If you do not have a will, or if your current will is out of date, contact us to discuss the best way to put suitable arrangements in place.

Estate Administration and Probate

Dealing with an estate after someone has died can feel difficult and time-consuming. We can help executors and families understand their responsibilities, apply for probate where needed and deal with the legal administration of the estate.

If you are unsure what needs to be done after a bereavement, contact us. We will explain how we can help.

Inheritance and Tax Planning

Inheritance and tax planning can help families think ahead and manage estate arrangements more carefully. We can advise on legal options that may help protect assets and clarify future administration.

If you want to review your estate planning or understand potential inheritance issues, speak to us for tailored advice.

Power of Attorney

A power of attorney allows trusted people to make decisions on your behalf if you are unable to do so in the future. Putting this in place early can make matters easier for your family and reduce uncertainty later on.

We can explain the different options and help prepare the documents required.

Will and Inheritance Disputes

Disputes about wills or inheritance can be highly sensitive and can quickly place pressure on family relationships. We can help you understand your legal position and consider the most practical way forward.

If you are concerned about a will, estate or inheritance issue, contact us before the dispute becomes more difficult to resolve.

Family Law

Family law matters often involve important personal decisions and can be emotionally difficult. We advise on divorce, children act proceedings, domestic violence, living together arrangements, prenuptial agreements and change of name.

If you are dealing with separation, a dispute about children, relationship arrangements or a family concern, we can help you understand your rights and options. Early advice can make the process clearer and help you make informed decisions.

Divorce

Divorce can involve legal, financial and practical issues. We can explain the process, help you understand the steps involved and advise on the issues that may need to be resolved.

If you are considering divorce or have received divorce papers, contact us before making decisions that could affect your future position.

Children Act Proceedings

Children matters require careful, sensitive advice. We can help parents and family members understand the legal process and the options available where arrangements for children are in dispute.

If you are worried about where a child lives, contact arrangements or another issue involving children, speak to us as early as possible.

Domestic Violence

Domestic violence matters can require urgent and sensitive legal support. We can advise on the steps that may be available where protection or immediate legal action is needed.

If you are affected by domestic abuse, contact us to discuss your position and the options that may be available.

Living Together

Couples who live together do not automatically have the same legal rights as married couples or civil partners. We can advise on living-together arrangements and help clarify property, financial, and practical issues.

If you are moving in together or already cohabiting, legal advice can help reduce uncertainty and avoid future disputes.

Prenuptial Agreements

A prenuptial agreement can help couples set out financial arrangements before marriage. We can advise on the legal and practical issues involved and help prepare an agreement that reflects your circumstances.

If you are planning to marry and want to discuss asset protection or financial clarity, contact us before the wedding date approaches.

Employment Law

Employment issues can be stressful and may involve short deadlines. We advise on compromise agreements, redundancy, workplace discrimination, and unfair treatment at work.

Whether you are an employee being asked to sign documents or an employer managing a workplace issue, legal advice can help you understand the risks and decide what to do next.

Compromise Agreements

If you have been offered a compromise agreement or settlement agreement, it is important to take advice before signing. These agreements can affect your employment rights and usually require independent legal advice.

We can review the document, explain the terms and help you understand the effect of signing.

Redundancy

Redundancy can raise questions about process, selection, notice, pay and possible claims. We can help employees and employers understand their rights and responsibilities.

If redundancy is being discussed, taking advice early can help avoid mistakes and clarify the correct next steps.

Discrimination at Work

Discrimination at work can have serious consequences for employees and employers. We can help you understand whether the conduct may be unlawful and what options may be available to you.

If you believe discrimination has occurred, or if your business is dealing with a complaint, contact us for advice before the matter escalates.

Unfair Treatment at Work

Unfair treatment at work can affect your confidence, income and future employment. We can help you understand whether you may have legal protection and what steps may be appropriate.

If you are unsure how to respond to workplace treatment, speak to us before taking action or resigning.

Disputes

Disputes can become expensive and disruptive if they are not handled carefully. We advise on disputes, including holiday disputes, housing disputes and professional negligence matters.

Whether you need to bring a claim, respond to a claim or explore settlement, early advice can help protect your position and avoid unnecessary escalation.

Housing Disputes

Housing disputes can involve landlords, tenants, property owners, neighbours or managing agents. We can help you understand your rights and the options available to resolve the issue.

If a housing dispute is affecting your home, property or finances, contact us for advice before the matter becomes more difficult.

Professional Negligence

If a professional adviser has made a mistake and caused you loss, you may need advice on whether a professional negligence claim can be brought. We can help assess the position and explain what evidence may be needed.

If you believe you have been let down by a professional, contact us to discuss whether legal action may be available.

Managing Your Business

Running a business involves legal decisions that can affect risk, growth and day-to-day operations. We advise on administration and duties, contracts and agreements, e-commerce and IT agreements, health and safety compliance, mergers, acquisitions and disposals, intellectual property, terms and conditions, company formation, data protection, finance, joint ventures, partnership and shareholders agreements, and regulatory compliance.

If your business needs clear legal advice before making a decision, entering into an agreement or dealing with compliance issues, contact us to discuss how we can help.

Business Employment Law

Employment law can create significant risk for businesses if staff issues are not handled correctly. We advise on business transfers, employment documentation and policies, restructuring and redundancy, employment tribunals, human resources advice, legal health checks, franchises, management buy-outs and related business employment matters.

If your business is dealing with staff contracts, redundancy, workplace disputes or employment risk, contact us before taking action.

Business Disputes

Commercial disputes can damage relationships, affect cash flow and distract from running your business. We advise on business disputes, including defamation and brand protection, mediation, director and shareholder disputes, and partnership disputes.

If your business is involved in a disagreement, early legal advice can help protect your position and identify the most practical route to resolution.

Business Property

Business property decisions can create long-term obligations and financial commitments. We advise on business leases and licences, the buying and selling of business property, and planning law for business clients.

If you are buying, selling, leasing or dealing with commercial premises, contact us before signing documents or making binding commitments.

Legal Services for Landlords

Landlords often need clear legal advice on property, tenancy and possession issues. We can advise on landlord-related legal services and help you understand the correct process before taking action.

If you are a landlord dealing with a tenant issue, property concern or formal notice, contact us for practical guidance.

Debt Management and Recovery
