This area covers how co-owned homes are held when more than one person has an interest. In England, it deals with the differences between tenants in common and joint tenants, what happens to shares on death, and how to manage or sever the arrangement where ownership terms or financial arrangements need clarity or change. A solicitor helps with setting up the ownership, drafting deeds or declarations of trust, and handling any disputes or requirements arising from mortgage lenders or registers. This work matters because it determines who can live in the property, who bears costs, and what happens to ownership if someone dies or wants to sell.
The key protections relate to rights over the share(s) owned, deadlines for actions like severance or sale, and the potential for conflict if partners disagree. A solicitor can draft or amend the declaration of trust, advise on severance of a joint tenancy, and ensure Land Registry entries and mortgage conditions reflect the chosen form of ownership.

I appointed Natalie O'Donohue and Maxwell Hodge for some conveyancing. The whole process, from start to finish, was first class. Fast, efficient, and Natalie made sure everything ran smoothly. I would recommend.

Tagged solicitor Michelle Rock
Michelle Rock and Emma Best were fantastic throughout the purchase of our new house. They were professional, friendly, and always kept us informed every step of the way. Their communication was excellent, and they made what could have been a stressful process feel much smoother. We really appreciated their dedication and support and wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to anyone buying a home. Thank you both!

Tagged solicitor Harvey West
Harvey West and Heather Burgess have been outstanding in assisting us with selling a flat that needed a lease drawn up. If we emailed we were given a reply, sounds simple....but it means you know where you are and what needs to be done etc etc. It kept us relaxed when it was not straight forward.. they could also think outside of 'the box'. If our buyers conveyancer did not have the qualifications to convey a new lease just imagine how hard it is to write one !
