Frequently Asked Questions

The following is a list of questions that our clients frequently ask us:

Our firm has a team of experienced solicitors, each supervised by senior specialists with decades of practice in their respective areas. We follow strict professional standards set by the Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA) and provide clear, transparent pricing and advice. We handle every matter with diligence, confidentiality, and a focus on achieving the best outcome for you.

We provide legal services across a broad range of areas, including:

  • Residential and commercial conveyancing (sales, purchases, mortgages, re-mortgages, transfers of equity, buy-to-let, and more)
  • Probate and estate administration (small, medium, and large estates)
  • Immigration applications (leave to remain, naturalisation, EUSS, family visas, student/work visas)

  • Motoring offences in Magistrates Court

No. While in-person meetings are available if you prefer, most matters can be handled remotely via email, phone, or video call. We will guide you on what documents are needed and keep you updated at every stage.

Our fees cover professional legal advice and services relevant to your case. For example, in conveyancing, this includes reviewing contracts, handling searches, liaising with lenders, arranging completion, and paying relevant disbursements. In immigration matters, fees include reviewing evidence, preparing and submitting applications, and providing advice on eligibility and next steps. Where work falls outside the fixed fee, we will provide a separate quote before proceeding.

To ensure a smooth process, you should provide all requested documents promptly, answer queries from your solicitor accurately, and respond to communications in a timely manner. Clear communication allows us to handle your matter efficiently and avoid delays or additional costs.

  • For conveyancing: ownership of your property, registration at the Land Registry, and completion of any mortgage or financial arrangements.
  • For probate: a Grant of Probate and accurate distribution of assets to beneficiaries.
  • For immigration: a successfully submitted application and advice on next steps.
  • For debt recovery: receipt of payment from the debtor or a clear plan for enforcement if required.

Our website provides transparent pricing for standard matters. All fees are typically fixed for the services listed, with disbursements payable to third parties handled by us on your behalf. More complex matters may incur additional charges, which we will confirm upfront.

Timescales vary depending on the type of matter and complexity. For example:

  • Residential property transactions: 4–8 months
  • Probate: 8–18 months depending on estate size
  • Immigration applications: 1 week to lodge, decision times depend on the Home Office
  • Debt recovery: 1–3 weeks (plus enforcement if needed)
    We provide expected timescales for all matters and will keep you updated if delays occur.
