Surely there can be few events in life more stressful than moving home. That is why we focus on providing thorough and efficient property conveyancing services offering you excellent quality at a reasonable cost.
By taking responsibility for the legal purchase or sale of your home we aim to lift the stress from your shoulders and get the job done effectively and as swiftly as possible, giving you the peace of mind that comes with knowing your property transaction is in the best hands.
With more than 50 years’ combined experience, our residential property specialists have a wealth of legal knowledge, top-quality skills, and a real passion for residential property. Above all, we are 100 per cent committed to making sure we listen to our clients as an essential first step to providing a personal service we believe is second-to-none.
What can you expect from us?
Before you make a firm decision to choose us for your residential property conveyancing, we will talk you through every step of the legal process, explaining in plain English what is involved and any choices that may be open to you.
We will also provide you with a breakdown of our professional fees and an advance estimate of any other costs you are likely to incur such as buyers’ stamp duty land tax – while our trust and tax experts can advise you on related tax matters, including any capital gains tax liability you may face as a result of selling your property.
Of course, throughout the conveyancing procedure, you can expect us to stay in close touch. We understand the importance of clear and consistent communication with everyone involved, to keep you up-to-date with how your transaction is progressing and to ensure you remain in comfortable control of the process.
All-round expertise at your service
No matter how straightforward or complex your property transaction, we are pleased to put our all-round expertise to work for you, wherever you are. We have already helped thousands of home buyers and sellers throughout West Sussex, Hampshire and Surrey, who have benefitted from our extensive local knowledge and we are well-placed to act in property transactions further afield across the UK with the same high standard of care.
Whether you are buying or selling freehold, leasehold, or through shared ownership as a co-owner, whether you are looking to transfer ownership into sole or joint names, whether you are stepping onto the property ladder as a first-time buyer or exercising your right to buy from a local authority, whether you are buying or selling at auction, transferring equity, or re-mortgaging, we are on your side.

Client Testimonials
We just wanted to take the time as well to say a personal thanks to the pair of you for your excellent service and support during our move. We had used you before but, like many people, we were tempted to go this time with one of the low cost on line conveyancing quotes we received. Had we done so we are now sure we would have regretted it as we feel that the exemplary service we got from yourselves was true value for money. In particular, towards the end of the process when we had to deal with a very demanding buyer for our house we felt very well supported by you not just in the technical elements of your service but also in the responsiveness and personal support we received. We have heard numerous stories from friends and colleagues of how they have struggled with conveyancing services during property transactions and have enjoyed telling people what a positive experience we had with George Ide.
Jeremy & Nicky Mills
Nicholas Smith
For the sale and purchase of our properties we found the service we received throughout the conveyance to be exemplary. A clear, efficient and professional service from Nicholas Smith and his team.
I would look no further for any future property conveyance and as a result of this experience with George Ide I will consider them, first and foremost, for future legal matters.
Ian & Susan Archer
Nicholas Smith
You have been a pleasure to deal with and have been so competent, patient, organised and professional. I still cannot believe how stress-free the whole procedure was with you. In stark contrast, I completed today on my house in N Ireland after five (!) months of legal wrangling. I am delighted with the house and, although still surrounded by packing boxes, am making progress. Once again. Thank you for all you did. Kind regards,
Elaine Young

Nick, Sally, Maddie & Lara, I just wanted to thank you for the excellent service that you all provided in the recent sale and purchase of our home. You made a stressful process a great deal easier, with your prompt responses, ready availability and sound advice. We are very grateful and would recommend you to others. I will complete your feedback form, but just wanted to email my thanks to you directly. Best regards

An outstanding week – thanks for the speed and efficiency on the two deals you’ve acted on. I just wish all solicitors were as proactive as you.
It doesn’t get much better than this.

Thank you so much Nicholas for the brilliant service you have given is throughout the selling and buying of our properties. You, and Maddie, have been exceptional.
Mr and Mrs Holder

A friendly, helpful and competent service close to home and we felt welcome, relaxed and confident in their hands. Thank you all.
Egon & Pamela Frey
Nicholas Smith
We want to say a very big thank you to both of you for all your help in our house moves. We have been very impressed with your highly efficient, no fuss approach to the conveyancing. It has made the whole process so much easier for us and we would have no hesitation recommending your services to others.
Best wishes and thank you once again.
Tony &Joanne Heys
Nicholas Smith
Excellent service again – even better than last time. I was particularly impressed and grateful for the very speedy email communications; they were always prompt but also importantly, they were succinct. I was also pleased at the help given in distilling the important considerations and that Nick identified a major issue with the title very early on in the process.
Mike Smith
Nicholas Smith
Nicholas Smith was highly professional, focused and responsive. He worked to a very tight timetable to
complete the purchase of our house and I would strongly recommend him to prospective clients
Robert & Nathalie Forman
Nicholas Smith
The speed from offer to completion surprised everyone we spoke to and more than met our deadline to beat the June Stamp Duty deadline. Well done, absolutely delighted.
John Middleditch
Nicholas Smith
Just a note to thank you both very much for your help during the sale of Betty’s apartment. I was pretty stressed about it all, especially after the first sale fell through. But your kindness and efficient follow-up on everything really helped me. I have total confidence in your services and would not hesitate to work with you again. Very best wishes.
