Your challenges
In a market increasingly populated by bulk-conveyancing firms and internet based client relationships, we believe that there is no such thing as a generic sale or purchase, or indeed a generic client. We know that our clients’ property assets need to be handled with care and that they expect to be kept fully informed as the transaction progresses. We also believe that clients should be able to speak directly to their lawyer, so we communicate with you regularly and on your terms.
Achieving your ambitions
Residential property at Mills & Reeve means more than just buying and selling houses; you can expect the full range of property services – freehold and leasehold – from sales, purchases and re-mortgages to lease extensions and enfranchisement, through post-divorce asset distribution and on to probate sales.
In addition to “getting the deal done” within your timeframe, we provide you with a comprehensive report on title so that you really know what you’re buying.
We are sensitive to your needs and always tailor our approach to meet your requirements. Whether you are: selling, gifting, buying, enfranchising, remortgaging, protecting equity, releasing it … or just registering your property for the first time, we can help you.
The strength you need
Our team consists of a small and dedicated group of professionals who specialise and concentrate solely on residential property matters. Such a focus means depth of knowledge and breadth of experience in the field. The unique benefit of our service is that we can also provide you access to a range of specialists who can help you in the following areas:
- Property litigation – boundary disputes, landlord and tenant issues, restrictive covenants
- Personal wealth planning and family law
- Environmental law – for when the unthinkable happens during a sale and you need practical advice on issues such as contaminated land
Lawyers you can trust
A common theme in client feedback is that our proactive and practical approach is refreshing: “no jargon – they just talked us through what we needed to know before we bought”. A long standing client recently commented that he was “highly impressed by your report on title and your communication and professionalism throughout – I thoroughly believe that it reflects and exceeds the service which I received from the firm when I used you 45 years ago”.
