Buying or selling a home is one of the biggest financial commitments most people ever make. It can be exciting, but it is also well known for being stressful. Our residential property team makes the process as straightforward as possible. We explain things clearly, keep you updated at every stage, and deal with problems calmly so you can focus on the move itself.
Clients come back to us time and again because they know we combine thorough legal work with a personal service. We return calls promptly, we keep estate agents and the other side’s lawyers updated, and we are always available to talk things through.
You may find a cheaper conveyancing service elsewhere, but many clients tell us they value the difference we make, clear advice, responsive communication, and practical problem-solving. It’s the reason they recommend us to friends and family and return to us whenever they move again.
Our residential property solicitors in Guildford and London act for clients across the UK and internationally. Whether you are buying your first flat, moving to your forever home, or managing a more complex transaction, we have the experience to guide you.
We deal with all aspects of residential conveyancing, whether freehold or leasehold, new build or established property. Our focus is on keeping your move as smooth as possible.
A short lease can reduce your property’s value and cause problems with mortgage lenders. We help leaseholders secure extensions and protect their investment.
We act for clients remortgaging or refinancing their property, ensuring the legal process is handled efficiently and lender requirements are met.
Transfers of equity often follow family arrangements, separation, or estate planning. We make sure the process is completed correctly and your interests are protected.
Assignment purchases are common in London and other high-demand areas. We guide buyers through the process of taking on a contract before construction is complete, ensuring their rights and obligations are clear.
We act for sellers looking to assign their contracts before final completion, advising on consent requirements, fees, and practical steps.
We don’t believe in legal jargon or leaving you wondering what’s happening. We explain things in plain English and keep you fully informed throughout.
Our lawyers have handled everything from straightforward house sales to complex leasehold purchases and assignment transactions.
We act for clients based across the world, can email or courier documents quickly, use Powers of Attorney where needed, and adapt communication to suit your time zone.
Clients consistently praise our team for diligence, persistence, and kindness. They know we work hard to resolve issues and keep transactions moving, even when complications arise.

“Robert Parsons assisted my sister and I with the sale of our mother’s house in order to fund a care fee annuity. The transaction had the features that we were selling the house under a lasting power of attorney and we were selling without having lived in the property. Robert took the time to explain that we would be selling with limited title guarantee. Robert kept us fully informed on progress and gave clear instructions on what he needed from us. In fact all of the communication from Robert and his team was excellent and I was made to feel very welcome on the occasions I attended the office. Robert was sensitive to the fact that any delays would result in my mother having to draw down on her savings to fund the care home fees and did his best to ensure we completed as soon as possible. There were no ‘surprise’ additional fees to contend with. I would have no hesitation in recommending Robert and his firm.”
