About Residential Property

Lorrells’ Residential Property team has a solid reputation for offering one of the fastest property transaction turnarounds in London and the southeast.

The majority of our clients come to us through recommendations and third party referrals, proving our reputation for exceptional standards.

Our team has the get-up-and-go to push a sale or purchase through with speed, without an inch of compromise on accuracy. It’s all about responding to enquiries and going all out to request information and chase it when it’s delayed. At no point in any property transaction do we sit back and wait.

Now a stress free move is possible

We won’t go into the cliché about moving home being stressful. You probably know several people who’ve been through a difficult move. However, these stressful situations usually arise due to a lack of communication between the conveyancer and the client; a failure to take or return calls; relying on slow, communication channels like postal mail; and allowing personnel that lack experience and expertise to handle the matter.

Property specialists

At Lorrells we always allocate specialist property lawyers to each and every conveyance. You, or anyone else involved in the transaction such as an estate agent or surveyor, will never deal with a legal administrator who is unable to respond to queries on the spot. What’s more, we make the most of e-mail and the very best IT systems.

Complex Leasehold Transactions

Our experts are able to deal with some of the more complex property transactions, such as leasehold purchases.

Our attention to the finer detail of any lease means we can spot defects that may cause serious problems down the line when the property comes to be sold on. Rather than suggest walking away from a transaction, we aim to find solutions to any problems that arise, and are highly experienced in ironing out difficulties in this extremely complex area of law that few solicitors will deal with.

Maintaining high standards

Lorrells specialist property lawyers are never over-burdened with too many cases at any one time. For the client, this means that the lawyer handling their transaction will never be too over-stretched to handle their case efficiently.
