    Private mortgages cover loans secured on residential property where a lender takes a charge over the borrower’s home, typically a registered legal charge or mortgage deed. A solicitor in this area drafts and negotiates the loan terms, investigates title and any existing charges, coordinates registration with HM Land Registry, and advises on priority, repayments, and default remedies. They help you understand consequences if you miss payments, and guide you through registration, discharge on repayment, and any enforcement steps if the loan goes into arrears.

At no time did I feel pushed into a course of action. Overall the service I recieved was excellent.”

    “Thank you for representing us in our case against the council. We are really grateful that the judge recommended your company’s services and we met you. You were excellent throughout the whole process since day one. Explained the procedure the law, the penalties every detail thoroughly and in a manner that we understand. The day at court was really impressive and even though there was lack of accounts and clarity of events from our side, you kept calm and put the facts to the judge in a very eloquent manner. The result is a proof of your work. It was far better than our expectations. Thank you for everything and we wish you all the success in the future. God forbid, if we ever get into any legal mess again, you will be our first port of call. Thanks and good luck.”
