    This area covers people buying their first home in England. It includes the steps from offer through to completion, mortgage fine-tuning, searches, and registration of ownership at HM Land Registry, plus identifying and applying any available reliefs such as first-time buyer stamp duty land tax relief. A solicitor handles drafting or reviewing contracts, coordinating with lenders, arranging surveys, liaising with the seller’s side, and ensuring the transfer of title and funds completes correctly and securely.

    “The first phone call but my mind at ease straight away. Eve knew exactly how I would be feeling and explained everything to me in simple terms. She didn’t rush or pressure me into choosing their solicitors, rather she gave me great questions to be asking the rest of my quote options and this really helped with my decision making.”

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.”

    “I was guided through the conveyance process to purchase my first house by Shoaib Mirza, quite frankly he was excellent. His attention to detail, prompt and thorough communication, and guidance was of the highest order. This was not the easiest of deals to pull off with many hurdles to jump through. Going into the process I was sceptical due to friends and family having poor experiences at other firms, however with Nelsons I couldn't have asked for anything more, I would definitely recommend them to anyone going forward. Thank you Shoaib and Nelsons Solicitors!”
