Residential Conveyancing

We provide a complete residential conveyancing service covering freehold, leasehold, and new-build transactions. Whether you are buying, selling, remortgaging, or purchasing at auction, our Conveyancing Quality Scheme (CQS) accredited team ensures the process is handled efficiently and to the highest professional standards.

As a modern legal practice, we can act for clients anywhere in England and Wales without the need for face-to-face meetings. Documents can be exchanged securely via email, telephone, and video call, and we use electronic ID verification to complete regulatory checks quickly and securely. Therefore, we can progress matters without delay, which saves you both time and hassle.

In addition, we offer a range of fixed fees for conveyancing, tailored to the property type (freehold or leasehold), its value, and whether the title is registered or unregistered. This means you will know exactly what to expect from the outset. Use our online calculator to estimate your costs today.

In addition, we provide Lasting Power of Attorney (LPA) services at a fixed fee. Moreover, your Will or LPA can be prepared conveniently via telephone and email, which is preferred by most clients. If necessary, we can also arrange appointments at our Bath location or, in certain cases, a home visit.

Probate & Intestacy

Our solicitors handle a wide variety of estate matters, from straightforward applications for Grants of Probate to locating potential beneficiaries in intestate estates.

As a modern law firm, we can manage the entire probate process remotely via telephone, video call, or email. All ID and compliance checks are carried out securely through our electronic system. Alternatively, for those who prefer, important documents can be safely dropped off at our Bath location, ensuring the process remains convenient and secure for every client.

Our aim is to ensure that what can be a difficult and emotional process becomes as straightforward and stress-free as possible. From the initial consultation through each step of your case, we keep you informed and updated, providing guidance and support along the way.

We have extensive experience in dealing with contentious probate, which can often be complex and highly emotional. Our services include:

• Assisting with the removal of executors for breach of duty
• Supporting beneficiaries with claims under the Inheritance (Provision for Family and Dependants) Act 1975

We follow the ACTAPS Code of Conduct, ensuring the highest standards of practice in this sensitive area.

Settlement Agreements

Our experienced solicitors can guide you through the process of entering into a settlement agreement. We will review the proposed terms, provide confidential advice, and support you throughout. Furthermore, we can manage these matters entirely online, eliminating the need for a face-to-face appointment.
