    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.

    “Elite Law were very efficient in the conveyancing of this flat purchase, pity the same could not be said of the seller's solicitors! However, we got there in the end and Elite kept us well informed and were willing to discuss matters by phone when needed. Would recommend them without hesitation.”

    “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.”
