Conveyancing/Non-contentious property work

We set out various areas of property law work which we can undertake. This list is, of course, not exhaustive.

Conveyancing and non-contentious property work

The buying and selling of both residential and business property;
The grant and assignment of leases, both residential and commercial;
Applying to the landlord of leasehold property for relevant licences or consents, including to carry out works and/or to change the use of the property;
Providing advice about remortgaging a property, including any separate advice to a potential guarantor of the lender; and
(By our Consultant Solicitor, Julian Cohen) settling instruments of trust, including to families and where a property is being acquired by co-owners.

Property Litigation/Legal Disputes

The work we carry out on a non-exhaustive basis includes the following:

Co-ownership disputes, in particular where one party wishes the property to be sold against the wishes of the other, or, where the interest in the property has been challenged by way of equitable accounting;
Disputes in relation to property boundaries;
Disputes in relation to rights of way, right of light and/or other easements affecting properties;

Contacting our firm

We are very approachable. We are always happy to provide no-obligation quotes.

If you wish, we can arrange an initial fixed price meeting.

For litigation matters, we will assist with any claims for cover under legal expense insurance policies – which generally need to be supported by a favourable Counsel’s opinion. It may be challenging to secure cover under legal expense insurance policies but, once proceedings have been issued, policyholders have a statutory right of choice of their solicitors to represent them under the policy.

Also, for relevant matters where the case is reasonably strong, we can represent clients on a no win/no fee basis or a partial no win/no fee basis. In this situation, we have a pre-requisite form attached to an agreement with Counsel also agreeing to represent your claim on a similar basis.

We can also see our clients at our offices in Central London at 32 Bloomsbury Street, near Tottenham Court Road Underground Station, in North London close to Finchley Central Underground Station and at our office in Hatfield – opposite the mainline station Hertfordshire AL9. There are no parking issues at our North London or Hatfield offices.
