Top 10 of 4,694 law firms for Search Property to Buy, Housing & Property

Law firms ranked by client reviews

This work covers the pre-purchase checks a buyer undertakes when buying a home in England. A solicitor orders and reviews a set of property searches (for example local authority searches, drainage and water, flood risk and environmental data), examines the title and plan, and flags risks such as planning issues, restrictive covenants or rights of way. They raise enquiries with the seller, explain what the results mean, and help secure legal completion and registration at HM Land Registry. The aim is to identify problems before exchange and to secure appropriate protections for the buyer.

Where a solicitor protects your position

The results of searches can reveal planning constraints, environmental risks or access rights that affect value or future use. A solicitor’s role is to interpret these results, clarify responsible parties, and ensure the contract protects the buyer from unexpected liabilities or loss of value if issues emerge after purchase.

Tagged solicitor Michael Feakes and Head of Commercial

We have used Feakes & Co for various legal matters. We have found them to be professional, efficient and supportive. Most recently the firm handled conveyancing for the sale of a property. The team worked really hard in all aspects of the job and were 100% commited to get the sale across the line and meet our deadline. We are very grateful.

India Griffiths

Tagged solicitor India Griffiths

Well I say three months but it was actually under! This was from our house being advertised on the market to selling and stepping foot in our new home. Less than 3 months! Everyone kept saying to me ... Wow this has happened quick! It has and I'm giving full credit to the wonderful work of frodshams, in particular India! India has been with us from the very beginning and communication and support throughout any challenges that came up were exceptional. She explained things so we understood, she explained any risks or concerns and she also very fairly managed our expectations. Did I think we would get this done in this time.... No way! And at some points there were concerns that other parties may not. India took it upon herself to link in with all people in the chain to keep things moving, even on the day of the move she was calling to ensure all monies had transferred and we would get into the new property asap! She's considered us and our young family throughout all of this. Duringal a rather stressful and busy period, she was a calm steady head whom helped to keep me straight too. She felt in these moments that not only was she my solicitor but she became a friend I could talk to and sound things out regarding the move. I couldn't recommend frodshams or India anymore. I'll be forever grateful that she helped us start our new chapter in our beautiful home. Although I don't plan to move again anytime soon, I will still be purchasing property through our other business and will continuing to use frodshams for all dealings in this space. This is a true best in class service. Thank you so much!

Arj Arul

Tagged solicitor Arj Arul

My Daughter had to break her student lease from a Landlord in Bristol. Not knowing where we stood in this situation, Arj from Spires Legal was able to advise us on the best avenue to take. No matter what the Landlord did or did not do, Arj's advice meant we were able to mitigate a bigger liability. It was good to speak to someone who know's their stuff, and comforting to know you are being given sound advice. Spires Legal are like your own family lawyer who we WILL use again. - Thanks Arj you were brilliant

Donna BeaumontJohn Leslie Brian

Tagged solicitors Donna Beaumont and John Leslie Brian

Looking to move to our final home John Brian and Donna Beaumont at Sherrards were our obvious go to solicitors having helped in the past with children’s house purchases. Good choice - we had lots of buyer and seller interactions - we had 3 buyers who all ‘started the process’ and we lost one house on the way (lucky as our final home is better!) Donna and John guided us all the way - how many solicitors will send info evenings and weekends and were happy to help throughout! Professional , Efficient ,ever Helpful and above all Considerate - can honestly say they never broke a promise and took on so much of the stress a home move always generates Thank You and if you are thinking of moving and need a solicitor then in our view they are ‘the very best’

Tagged solicitor Rebecca Burridge

I used Burridge & Pluck for the first time to sell a property. Throughout the whole experience the level of communication has been excellent with all queries answered quickly and efficiently. Every task was completed when they said it would be with no delays. I would highly recommend for their excellent friendly service.
