    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.

    “Thank you for representing us in our case against the council. We are really grateful that the judge recommended your company’s services and we met you. You were excellent throughout the whole process since day one. Explained the procedure the law, the penalties every detail thoroughly and in a manner that we understand. The day at court was really impressive and even though there was lack of accounts and clarity of events from our side, you kept calm and put the facts to the judge in a very eloquent manner. The result is a proof of your work. It was far better than our expectations. Thank you for everything and we wish you all the success in the future. God forbid, if we ever get into any legal mess again, you will be our first port of call. Thanks and good luck.”
