This area covers buying property off plan and arranging or securing equity release, including mortgages backed by lifetime mortgages. A solicitor works on contracts for off‑plan purchases, checks developer terms, confirms title due diligence, investigates planning or building approvals, reviews deposits and long-stop dates, and coordinates with lenders, lenders' solicitors and the land registry. They also advise on risks of buying before completion and on safeguards in equity release schemes before advising on next steps if problems arise.
“A thorough and professional service. The solicitor understood exactly what was needed and prepared a clear Deed of Variation that could be acted on by the executors. It took longer than the estimated 10 days, largely due to the unavoidable delays due to the long use of the paper post system.”

“This was our first experience of Tozers. We found them very professional and timely. Issues were brought up by other solicitors in dribs and drabs and dealt with straightaway. We were kept informed at every stage. They worked as a team and someone would always contact us.”

“We have moved many times in our lives and Helen was without a doubt the best solicitor we've ever had. She was incredibly efficient, nothing was too much trouble and she kept us informed all the way. We would have no hesitation in recommending Helen Hine to anyone buying or selling a property. Thanks Helen you made a stressful time so much easier.”

“I was fortunate to have Emily Maskrey handle the legal aspects of purchasing our new home and managing a simultaneous Let to Buy. Emily kept me well-informed throughout the process and greatly alleviated the stress associated with buying a new home. I will definitely be recommending Emily and the team at RFB in Exeter!”

“This was my first time buying a house by myself, and I was absolutely terrified going into the process! Emily and Jasmine were absolutely brilliant from start to finish. They were kind, patient, incredibly helpful and always took the time to explain things and answer my questions, which made what could have been a very stressful experience so much easier.
They managed to handle both an equity release and the purchase of my new home, getting everything completed within just a few months. I genuinely couldn’t have asked for better support throughout the whole process.
I’m so grateful to Emily and Jasmine for making such a huge milestone in my life feel much less daunting. I would absolutely recommend them to anyone.
And as a lovely final touch, when I moved into my new home I received a handwritten card from them both. I thought that was incredibly sweet and really summed up how thoughtful and personal their service was. It was such a lovely gesture and one I’ll definitely remember!”

“We have recently sold and purchased a new property. It turned out to be a difficult process that lasted over 8 months and we were at a point where we thought it will just not happen, we will not get to completion. We are now in our new home, thanks to Danya especially, and Philip who have put in the work to make this happen for us. Their perseverance, expertise and dedication aided in our achievement.
The responses to our emails were received within the hour, and nothing was too much. Anything we were not sure of, Danya and Philip were happy to explain either through email or by phone.
I am so happy I chose Bright Solicitors and they will definitely be first choice firm for the future.”

“I arranged to speak to Andrew Campbell to discuss an on-going domestic issue linked to a property. Throughout the meeting Andrew was attentive, made sure he fully understood the situation, and my concerns, while providing a detailed breakdown of options available to me. At no time did I feel pushed into a course of action. Overall the service I recieved was excellent.”

“We can not thank the amazing team at Howard and Over enough for all their help with our sale and Purchase.
Danielle and Neil worked tirelessly to ensure that our sale and purchase went through smoothly. We were selling a shared ownership property which is not a straight forward process, But both Danielle and Neil couldn’t have been more helpful and proactive. The whole team were quick to answer queries and nothing was ever too much for them. They kept us informed and up to date every step of the way.
We completed both the purchase and sale on the same day and it was seamless for us which is a credit to them as I know there were delays in the background but they were sorted quickly by Danielle who was on the ball every step of the way.
Would recommend them both and the wider team. They are efficient and friendly, and their communication was excellent. I am one of those who likes to know what’s going on and they were always happy to update me.
They are a credit to their profession.”
