    This work covers residential conveyancing, buy-to-let and social housing matters, landlord and tenant disputes, leasehold enfranchisement, boundary and title problems, mortgage and possession cases and housing-condition claims. Solicitors draft and negotiate contracts and leases, exchange and complete conveyancing, prepare and register transfers and charges at HM Land Registry, serve and respond to s.8 and s.21 possession notices, represent clients in county courts and in the First-tier Tribunal (Property Chamber), and press or resist repair and disrepair claims under statutory housing law. Lender requirements, deposit protection schemes and conveyancing searches commonly structure the process.

    “I’ve worked with Fiona over the last few years on several residential property purchases through my company, and she has always been excellent to deal with. She is professional, efficient, and very helpful throughout the whole process. Communication is always clear and timely, and she makes what can be a stressful process much easier to manage. I would highly recommend Fiona to anyone looking for a reliable and knowledgeable solicitor.”

    “I arranged to speak to Andrew Campbell to discuss an on-going domestic issue linked to a property. Throughout the meeting Andrew was attentive, made sure he fully understood the situation, and my concerns, while providing a detailed breakdown of options available to me. At no time did I feel pushed into a course of action. Overall the service I recieved was excellent.”
