Their job is to prepare the documents that transfer ownership from the seller to the buyer and to deal with the bank, the local authority, Landgate and the duty assessment along the way.

To get started with us, send us a copy of the offer and acceptance contract. If the contract falls through because the buyer’s finance is not approved, we won’t charge you for the work we’ve done.
