Top 10 of 4,693 law firms for First Time Buyers, Housing & Property

Law firms ranked by client reviews

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.

Where a solicitor protects your position

A first-time purchase involves time-sensitive steps: confirming funding, negotiating missives, and finalising transfer documents, with deadlines controlled by contract law, stamp duty relief eligibility, and the registration of title. A solicitor concentrates on protecting your position through accurate contract checks, ensuring proper payment of taxes, and overseeing the lodgement and registration process so ownership is legally vested in you.

Jo BuckMarshall

Tagged solicitor Jo BuckMarshall

I simply can't praise Jo, our conveyancer, enough. Throughout a, very long, house purchase she was always contactable and always took the time to explain what was happening. We were always kept in the loop as she chased our sellers and their solicitors for information. We will definitely be using Tees for our next house purchase.

Sheila Biskup

Tagged solicitor Sheila Biskup

The service we received from Hawley and Rodgers (Long Eaton branch) was second to none. We were fist time buyers and the process could not have gone more smoothly thanks to Sheila, Marie and the team. Any issues we had from the seller's side were resolved thanks to Sheila being proactive and effective and we were in our new house in 2 months! Sheila was also very prompt in answering any emails (which I hear from others is rare in a solicitor) and when she was on holiday, she arranged for cover as we were at a crucial spot in our buying process. She did everything she could to help us and get the move in date we wanted when there was pushback from the seller's new build developer. We were recommended Sheila by a friend who had issues with her solicitor and said that Sheila, even though she was not her solicitor, had tried to help her which shows how much she cares. We would highly recommend her for anybody that needs a solicitor!

Joseph Roland Jones

Tagged solicitor Joseph Roland Jones

Roland Jones handled both the sale of my previous property and the purchase of a new one. I've worked with Roland before on a lease extension and he was a model of sensible, sane advice – here too. Despite several challenges (a disappearing buyer, a tight mortgage deadline …) he kept everything on the road and was a reassuring presence in a sometimes stressful process, as well as very responsive and easy to get hold of. If only all solicitors were like this – a real credit to the firm, and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him and BAMc.

Louisa Juchau

Tagged solicitor Louisa Juchau

As first-time property buyers, we were a bit overwhelmed by the complexities of the purchasing process but thanks to Louisa everything went great! We had many questions, and she patiently explained every step, making the process smooth and stress-free. Her attention to detail and great communication gave us more confidence in decisions we made. We are glad we chose TG Baynes and Louisa as our solicitors.
