We provide services for the purchase or sale of all types of property including residential and commercial properties.
We can assist with:
- Advice on offers and the right price for the property

Business Services
If you are thinking of purchasing, selling or relocating, speak to us first. We can help negotiate the best price for a business and can recommend Surveyors and Accountants.
Thereafter, we will assist and advise you on all aspects of your transaction: from the contract; dealing with staff and complying with TUPE Regulations; transferring ownership of the business and heritable property; liasing with your accountant; guiding you through to settlement and beyond.
Wills, Estate Planning & Executries
Having a Will ensures that your estate goes to those who you wish to benefit. However, with the proper advice you can also ensure that you reduce the amount of inheritance tax payable on your death. And if you have young children, your Will can appoint legal guardians and make proper financial provision for them. We can assist in all aspects of this area of law, including:
- Valuing all assets of the Estate
- Corresponding with HMRC, negotiating and meeting any Inheritance Tax liablility from the Estate
- Finalising the accounts of the Executry
Power of Attorney
Have you ever wondered who would make decisions regarding your finances or future care in the event of you suffering a serious illness? By granting Power of Attorney you can authorize a trusted family member or friend to make those decisions for you. We can advise, prepare and put in place a Power of Attorney most appropriate to your circumstances.
