Conveyancing solicitors for Chichester
Whether the property in your sights is to be your first-time home or you’re up-sizing for a growing family, our experts can help. If you are relocating to town, countryside or coast, our local knowledge is at your fingertips.
And if you have found your perfect second home or holiday house, or are looking ahead to a retirement property, our conveyancing specialists will focus their extensive experience to provide you with high-quality personal service that leaves you stress-free to enjoy the moment.
How can a residential property solicitor help?
We offer a full range of residential conveyancing services and maintain excellent links with other South Coast property professionals including estate agents, builders, and developers.
So if you are buying or selling any type of residential property, we can help. If your purchase of a new property depends on the sale of a current property, we can help.
When you are buying property directly from a developer, thanks to our specific expertise in new-build developments, we can help. And if you are buying or selling the property at auction, we can also help.
Our experienced team can help current leaseholders negotiate and complete the purchase of their property’s freehold, either individually or as a group. Alternatively, we can help you extend the length of your leasehold term, adding value to your home or future-proofing your investment.
We can help if you are interested in joint-ownership of a property – our experts are well-versed in specialist co-ownership conveyancing and liaising with multiple lenders, and experienced in drawing up deeds that will protect your interests, a declaration of trust, for example, to establish and clarify each co-owner’s legal and financial responsibilities.

Many thanks again for your work and support on the sale of my flat in Putney – as per my previous experiences on sale/purchasing properties with your help, you give conveyancing lawyers a good name! Very efficient, prompt and pragmatic plus you know what to advise/caution me on without overdoing it. After the dust has settled I will be looking for an investment property to buy so no doubt will be back in touch in due course. Enjoy the rest of the summer and thanks again.
