Buying A Property
As one of the most important transactions in anyone's life, it is important to have the services of a solicitor to guide you through the stages of what can be a complex business. Let one of our legal staff help arrange a survey, organise a mortgage, submit an offer, negotiate the purchase price and extras to be included, check the title deeds, transfer the title into your name and complete the purchase. We will be happy to give you a quote for fees and let you know what your outlays will be. Contact us for more information.

Selling a Property
Before you start to sell your house or flat, there are a number of things to consider - when you should sell it, for how much, what items are to be included in the sale, where you should advertise your property for sale? If you are selling, there is a good chance you will be buying another home. If so, often the first question is should you attempt to buy the new property before selling your own or should you sell your own property before buying? We will be able to help you decide which of these approaches is best for you and market your property with your needs in mind. As solicitors, we can deal with both the marketing and legal conveyancing as a single package. We can also give potential sellers a free, no obligation valuation of your property and quote for fees. Just call our Property Department where our friendly staff will be pleased to help.

Executries
Our firm has many years of experience dealing with the estate or assets of someone who has died. At such a difficult time we believe that it is important that we give as much help as possible in as many areas as is necessary whether or not the deceased left a Will. If required, we can help with the immediate problems and will take matters right through to the completion of the estate and the division of the proceeds to the beneficiaries.

Making A Will
To make sure that your money and possessions are dealt with as you wish after your death it is essential to make a Will. Many people think making a Will is not worthwhile as they have little to leave, while others think it might be too expensive. However, the results of not leaving a Will can be financially and emotionally disastrous for close family members or partners. All property owners should have a Will to ensure that their property passes in accordance with their wishes.

Making a Will may not cost as much as you think and in the course of preparing your Will, our legal staff will give advice on distribution of your assets, tax planning, executors and any other relevant matter you may wish to include, such as funeral arrangements.

Starting Your New Business
Whilst starting a new business venture is an exciting prospect, there is no doubt that there are risks.

We believe it is worthwhile taking advice on all of the above to eliminate as many of the pitfalls as possible to ensure that your business can run the way you want it.
