Buying and Selling your home

We offer a reliable, efficient and cost-effective conveyancing service tailored to your specific needs. Our lawyers are committed to ensuring that your sale or purchase proceeds as smoothly and as swiftly as possible to a trouble free completion.

Let us take some of the stress

Moving home is stressful. We can’t change that, but we can shoulder some of the burden. By letting us deal with the legal side of things you will have the peace of mind of knowing that your transaction is in safe hand. You can then concentrate on packing up your belongings, arranging removers, sorting out utilities and agreeing completion dates with one less worry.

Why choose us?

Working hand in hand with estate agents is often crucial to achieving a swift and successful transaction. Our links with local agents are very strong, and in fact we provide training to some of them

This close relationship means that we are able to monitor the status of the chain and keep the transaction moving along.

We are also clear and transparent about legal fees. We are always happy to provide a fixed-fee quotation and supply a breakdown of all the expenses and fees that are likely to arise so that you can accurately budget.

Our experience

Our lawyers have decades of property experience behind them. This means there will be very few ‘problems’ that they won’t have already encountered and solved many times previously. When this experience is coupled with the use of the latest information technology it enables us to proceed with your transaction as swiftly and efficiently as possible.

Our expertise has resulted in us being appointed as ‘Panel’ solicitors for most Lenders.

In recognition of our high standards of service we are also members of the Law Society’s CQS accredited scheme.

The importance of communication

We understand how important communication is in a conveyancing transaction. At Slee Blackwell you won’t have to contend with an impersonal call centre. Each member of our team has their own direct dial number so you can always speak to them directly. You can also communicate directly with your lawyer by email.
