Practice areas
Six areas, six pages in a real build. Pick the one that matches your problem.
Buying, selling, remortgaging, transfers of equity and lease extensions. We tell you the day the searches go out and the day they come back, so you are not chasing us for a status update. Most freehold sales complete in eight to twelve weeks.
From £850 plus VAT and disbursements.
More on residential conveyancing →Single wills, mirror wills for couples, lasting powers of attorney, and estate administration when someone has died. We will tell you plainly whether you need a trust or whether someone has sold you one you do not.
Single will from £220 plus VAT. Probate from £1,400 plus VAT.
More on wills, trusts and probate →Divorce and dissolution, financial settlements, child arrangements, and separation agreements for couples who were never married. Mediation first wherever it stands a chance, because it is faster and it costs less.

Case outcomes
Anonymised, because they are client matters. Real numbers, real timescales.
Two neighbours, one fence, eleven years of argument. Settled by agreed plan and a deed of variation. Six weeks from first letter. No court fee, no hearing.
Employee resigned after a demotion in everything but title. Settled at mediation four months in, before the tribunal date.
Buyer’s lender changed its offer nine days before exchange. We had the replacement in place in three working days. Everyone moved on the agreed date.
Estate of £340,000, two siblings, a homemade will and a missing witness. Mediated settlement, no litigation, costs kept under 4% of the estate.
Reviews
“I had put off writing a will for fifteen years because I assumed it would be complicated and expensive. It took two meetings and cost less than my car insurance. I should have done it in 2010.”
“Our buyer’s solicitor went quiet for three weeks. Ours rang them every day and then rang me to tell me what they had said. That is the entire difference.”
“I went in expecting to be talked at in Latin. I got a straight answer, a fixed price, and a phone number that went to the same person every time.”
Enquiry
Fifteen minutes on the phone, free, no obligation. If we are not the right firm for your problem we will say so and point you somewhere better.
