Award-winning new homes division

How we're different

Two things shape how a file is run here — one is the standard we hold ourselves to, the other is how the work actually gets done.

We act as if we were the client

It is the firm's founding motto, and it is the standard we hold ourselves to: the care and attention we would want if the file were our own. In practice that means a fixed fee agreed before we start, no charge for the phone calls and emails in between, and updates at each stage so you are never left wondering where things stand.

Process-driven efficiency

A Six Sigma-trained approach and a corporate legal background mean we run conveyancing as a process rather than a pile of files. Instant online fees, a secure portal for your documents and our Sign at Home service take out the waiting and the trips to the office — most new home purchases complete in eight to twelve weeks from instruction.
