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.

Jess HemmingsMarika Javor

Tagged solicitors Jess Hemmings and Marika Javor

We couldn’t have asked for a better experience moving into our first home, and that is entirely thanks to Jess and Marika. From start to finish, they were absolutely outstanding. Both Jess and Marika guided us through every step with professionalism, warmth, and genuine care, making what could have been a stressful process feel exciting and seamless. Their communication was exceptional always clear, timely, and reassuring and no question ever felt too small. They truly went above and beyond to ensure everything ran smoothly and that we felt supported and confident throughout. What stood out most was how personal the experience felt. They understood how special buying a first home is and treated it with the importance it deserves. Their attention to detail, knowledge, and commitment were second to none, and we always felt we were in safe hands. Thank you, Jess and Marika, for making such a huge milestone an enjoyable and memorable one. We are incredibly grateful and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend you to anyone looking for exceptional service!! Highly recommend Paris Smith they are the best!!!

Abi was very helpful and prompt to respond after a difficult and drawn out purchase (no fault on our part). Explained everything in detail (first time buyer) and made me feel comfortable when things were getting complicated.
