We are experts in buying and selling property

If you are selling your property we will draft a contract and will provide you with all the necessary fixtures and fittings lists and property forms that you need to complete. We will keep in regular contact with the buyer's solicitor and with you. As the transaction is completed, we will ensure any mortgages are paid off and deal with all aspects of the sale until everything is settled satisfactorily

If you are buying a property our team will manage the transaction process for you from start to finish to ensure that you can complete as quickly as possible. We will check the legal title to the property, undertake searches and check your mortgage offer. We will answer any financial queries you may have, such as the amount of deposit required, specific mortgage conditions, stamp duty fees and any other fees which affect the cost of buying and the ongoing maintenance of your home.
