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 Victoria Parnell

I can’t thank Victoria enough for the incredible service she provided during both my property sale and purchase. She was everything you hope for in a solicitor: responsive, knowledgeable, and genuinely invested in getting things right. Her updates were always clear and timely, and she explained every step in a way that made me feel completely at ease. Even when complications arose, Victoria handled them with professionalism and calm confidence, keeping the whole process on track. It’s rare to find someone who combines expertise with such kindness and reliability. Victoria is a credit to her profession, and I’m deeply grateful for everything she did.
