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. Whatever your residential property conveyancing needs, you will feel at home with us from the moment you step through our front door.

Client Testimonials
Nick was at the very top of his game (again). If there is a better lawyer out there, I’ve yet to meet him. A giant amongst men. Respect.
Pete Cunningham

Thank you for informing C that she has successfully exchanged on Bell Cottage.
Can I personally thank you for your prompt and excellent service. Your turn-around has been exemplary.

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
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.

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

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.
Sandy
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
Nicholas Smith
Nick, Maddie and Sally were absolutely brilliant. Very approachable, efficient and worked very hard to get our matter completed very quickly. Will definitely recommend to friends/family. Thank you to all so much again.
Jonathan Kerr Crow
Nicholas Smith
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
Nicholas Smith
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
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.
Mr C

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
