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.

Charlotte PickfordElla Wright

Tagged solicitors Charlotte Pickford and Ella Wright

We recently used Everys Solicitors for our property purchase, and the experience was excellent from start to finish. The team was professional, responsive, and friendly, making what could have been a stressful process much smoother. Charlotte Pickford, in particular, was highly recommended to us and lived up to that recommendation—always prompt, knowledgeable, and approachable. We also appreciated the support from Ella, who handled our correspondence efficiently and courteously. As first-time buyers, we felt supported throughout and would not hesitate to recommend Everys Solicitors to others.

Karen Healy

Tagged solicitor Karen Healy

Karen was an incredible support throughout our home-buying journey. As first-time buyers, we had many questions, and she was always generous with her time, explaining everything clearly and patiently. Karen was also understanding and flexible when circumstances changed, which we truly appreciated. We could exchange and complete in under three months thanks to her professionalism and efficiency. We defo couldn’t have done this without her. Highly recommend Karen for her dedication and expertise.

As always Alastair was professional and efficient. It was a complicated sale but without Alastair I am sure it would have taken much longer to "get it over the line"!

Bhavini Rattu

Tagged solicitor Bhavini Rattu

We couldn’t be happier with the service we received throughout the conveyancing process for our first home. From start to finish, everything was handled with care, professionalism, and clear communication, which made what could have been a stressful experience feel smooth and manageable. As first-time buyers, we had lots of questions, and these were always answered patiently and clearly. We felt well-informed at every stage and confident that our interests were being properly looked after. Deadlines were met, matters were explained without legal jargon, and nothing ever felt like too much trouble. We’re incredibly grateful for the support and guidance provided and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Bhavini to anyone buying/selling their first home — or any home, for that matter. Thank you Bhavini (and Molly) - you were great!

Victoria Hands

Tagged solicitor Victoria Hands

Just completed on a flat using the legal services of MLP Law, with Victoria as our primary solicitor and Chloe as our secondary contact. They were both extremely professional, friendly, communicative and helpful. As a first time buyer, I didn't know what to expect, but Victoria made the process seamless and explained what was going on every step of the way, answering my many questions without being patronising or dismissive. She always kept me in the loop as to what was going on and what to expect next in a friendly yet professional manner, with communication always direct, swift, and easy to understand. She went above and beyond, ensuring that any issues were ironed out straight away, and was always tenacious, proactive and 'on-the-ball.' In short, I could not recommend Victoria, and MLP Law, enough.

Heather BoydKarine Goguen

Tagged solicitors Heather Boyd and Karine Goguen

We recently purchased our first home with the assistance of Heather and Karine at Emerald Law. They were incredibly approachable and quick to respond, whether by phone or email. As first-time buyers, we had very little knowledge about the process, but they walked us through each step clearly and patiently, making everything feel manageable and stress-free. Our experience was highly satisfactory, and we would absolutely recommend their services to anyone purchasing a home.
