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.

Hay & Kilner have a reputation for being great and they were exactly that. Because of the way they are a large and well established firm, there were never any disruptions to the process of sorting our house sale or new purchase. The whole process was, in fact, extremely fast. The Hay & Kilner team kept us informed every step of the way and they were thoughtful and quick in doing so. It would would absolutely be fair to describe them as meeting or even exceeding the gold standard for conveyancing solicitors. The next time we need to sell or buy a property, we’ll return to Hay & Kilner.

We are first time buyer, and we appreciated NM legal for her hard work and her professional support through the entire process. The process started on 27 February 2025, and we moved in on 11 April 2025. You made buying a house such a pleasant experience. We would gladly recommend you to anyone we know looking for a new home.
