Conveyancing is the legal process of transferring property ownership from seller to buyer. It usually takes 8–12 weeks (longer in chains or with issues). We handle residential and commercial properties nationwide, including contract checks, title verification, searches, enquiries, exchange, and completion.

- How long does conveyancing take? 8 -26 weeks average;
- What searches are needed? Local Authority (planning, highways), Environmental (flood/contamination risk), Water & Drainage (sewer connections).
Wills & Inheritance Tax Planning 2026 –
Reduce or Eliminate IHT With the transferable nil-rate band (£325,000) and residence nil-rate band (£175,000), couples can pass up to £1 million tax-free.
We draft tax-efficient wills to maximise these allowances, include gifts, and use trusts where needed.
Do I need to update my will for 2026? Yes if your circumstances changed or to optimise for current bands & rules.
Trusts Explained: Discretionary Trusts & Life Interest Trusts
Discretionary trusts give trustees flexibility to benefit chosen people while protecting assets. Life interest trusts provide income/lifetime use (e.g., for a surviving spouse) while ring-fencing capital. Common uses:
- Asset protection for beneficiaries
- Reducing inheritance tax exposure
- Safeguarding your home from care fees (carefully structured to avoid deprivation claims)
Is a trust right for me? We assess your situation – don’t DIY as rules are strict.
Protecting Your Home from Care Home Fees & Deprivation of Assets Claims
Local authorities can challenge asset transfers if seen as deliberate deprivation to avoid fees (no 7-year limit like IHT). We use compliant strategies: properly timed planning, Lasting Powers of Attorney (LPAs), life interest trusts in wills (e.g., tenants in common ownership to protect half the home value). Exemptions exist if depending on your intentions as in the R v Dorset County Council (the Beeson case)
Book a consultation for personalised, legal ways to safeguard your estate – avoid risky gifting.
Probate & Estate Administration –
Compassionate Help When Needed
We guide executors through applying for probate, dealing with lost wills, valuing estates, paying taxes, and distributing assets. Average timeline: 3–9 months. What if the will is lost? We help prove copies or apply via intestacy rules.
Boundary Disputes, Landlord Possession & Property Issues
We resolve neighbour boundary problems, adverse possession, rights of way, trespass, nuisance, leasehold issues, and eviction/possession proceedings for landlords.Does a boundary fence involve human rights? We advise on practical, evidence-based solutions.
