Areas of expertise

Our property law team handles a wide range of residential and commercial matters. Below are the services our clients rely on most frequently.

Signing property purchase documents for residential conveyancing

Residential conveyancing

From first-time buyer purchases to remortgages and transfers of equity, we manage every step of the conveyancing process. Our team conducts local authority searches, reviews contracts, raises enquiries, and coordinates exchange and completion on your behalf. We keep you informed at every stage with regular progress updates, and we work to fixed fees wherever possible so there are no billing surprises.

Commercial office building representing commercial property law services

Commercial property transactions

Acquiring or disposing of business premises involves due diligence that goes beyond standard residential work. We advise on commercial leases, asset purchases, development agreements, and licences to assign. Our solicitors understand the nuances of break clauses, rent review mechanisms, and service charge apportionment that can significantly affect your bottom line over the term of a lease.

Neighbours discussing a boundary with a surveyor for dispute resolution

Boundary and land disputes

Boundary disputes can damage relationships and property values if left unresolved. We analyse title plans, historical ordnance survey maps, and conveyance descriptions to establish the legal boundary. Where possible we pursue negotiated settlements or mediation to avoid costly tribunal proceedings. When litigation is unavoidable, we represent your interests robustly before the Property Chamber or county court.

A straightforward four-stage process designed to keep your matter moving and your mind at ease.

Initial assessment

We listen to your situation, review any documents you have, and provide an honest appraisal of your legal position — along with a clear fee estimate before any commitment.

Strategy and planning

Once instructed, we outline a detailed action plan with milestones and expected timelines. You will know exactly what happens next and when to expect updates from our team.

Active case management

Common questions about property law

Answers to the queries we hear most often from clients across Wales.

How long does a typical residential conveyancing transaction take?
Most straightforward purchases or sales complete within eight to twelve weeks from the point of instruction. Complex chains, leasehold properties, or matters requiring indemnity insurance can extend this timeline. We provide a realistic estimate at the outset and keep you updated on any factors that may cause delay.
What are your fees for buying a property?
We offer fixed-fee conveyancing for most residential transactions. Our quote includes legal fees, Land Registry fees, and search costs so you can budget with confidence. The exact amount depends on the property value, whether it is freehold or leasehold, and whether a mortgage is involved. Contact us for a no-obligation quote tailored to your specific purchase.
Can you help with a boundary dispute that has already escalated?
Yes. Whether you are at the early disagreement stage or already facing tribunal proceedings, we can step in. We will review the evidence, advise on the strength of your position, and pursue the most cost-effective resolution — whether that is negotiation, mediation, or formal litigation before the Property Chamber.
Do I need a solicitor for a remortgage?
In most cases, yes. Your new lender will require legal representation to ensure the mortgage is properly secured against the property. We handle the legal formalities, including title checks, redemption of the existing mortgage, and registration of the new charge at the Land Registry.
What is the difference between freehold and leasehold ownership?
Freehold means you own the property and the land it stands on indefinitely. Leasehold means you own the right to occupy the property for a fixed term — often 99 or 125 years — subject to conditions set by the freeholder. Leasehold properties may carry ground rent, service charges, and restrictions on alterations. We advise on lease extensions and enfranchisement if your lease is running short.
Are consultations available remotely?
Absolutely. We conduct consultations by telephone and video call as well as in person at our office. Many of our clients across Wales and England prefer the convenience of remote meetings, and we are fully equipped to manage your entire matter without requiring a face-to-face visit.
