Property Services

Before you go to the expense of making a planning application, you should check whether there are any legal restrictions in the development of your property.

Planning is a complex area of law and you need a specialist to help you through the regulations associated with the plans for your property. We work closely with a number of architects, planning contractors and building surveyors to provide an integrated approach.

Planning permission is usually required when extending your property or changing the use of your property. We are here to support you through the procedures of obtaining planning permission or appealing against a decision.

We are able to assist with additions or extensions to a house, flat or maisonette, dividing your home, building a separate house in your garden or self-building on your own plot. We can also help if you wish to object to a planning application or are adversely affected by your neighbour’s building work.

Do you need specialist legal advice regarding agricultural or rural land? Perhaps you are buying or selling a farm or woodland? Well, whatever your legal needs, our skilled property lawyers are on hand to provide a smooth and efficient joined-up service in conjunction with colleagues in our private client and commercial departments. We can, for example, offer seamless advice and assistance to owner managed businesses covering estate planning, partnership agreements, property transfers and tenancies/licences to occupy. We also have well established links with accountants, surveyors and other professionals in the local area.

By offering bespoke costs packages, we ensure that you receive the quality advice that you need at a reasonable price.

Your allocated solicitor will do what they can to provide straightforward, practical advice and a first rate service. They aim to be approachable and to get the job done with the minimum of fuss as quickly as possible, drawing on a wealth of experience and resources.
