A solicitor in this area drafts and negotiates option and promotion agreements, planning and site-assembly deeds, and construction and development contracts, coordinating with planning authorities, lenders, contractors, and other partners.

    “I recently worked with Reyhan as my conveyancing solicitor for both the sale of my old home and the purchase of my new one, and I couldn’t be more impressed with the service she provided. From start to finish, Reyhan was professional, knowledgeable, and incredibly supportive. She communicated clearly at every step, answered all my questions and made what could have been a stressful process feel smooth and well managed. Her attention to detail and dedication gave me real peace of mind throughout both transactions. I’m genuinely grateful for her hard work and guidance, and I would highly recommend Reyhan and Sweeney miller to anyone looking for a reliable and outstanding conveyancing solicitor. Thank you again Reyhan. ”

    “We bought our first Auction property in April 2024 and felt very unsure of the process and whether we were doing the right thing. We asked Claire to help us, after one of her colleagues Adam, who is our construction lawyer, along with Jan, at Hay & Kilner, recommended her. She was amazing, and her, and her lovely team reassured us and helped us through this process. Timelines were met, and we were kept informed and felt comfortable to call and talk things through when needed. We were so pleased with the service and the outcome that we bought a second property in June 2024, which has just completed, and once again managed swiftly and courteously by Helen and her team. We have no hesitation recommending to anyone ”
