As property solicitors in Banbridge, we’re members of all major lending and Co-Ownership panels, and of the Law Society’s Home Charter Scheme, which guarantees an assured standard of service on every property transaction we handle. Most of the process can be managed by email, phone and post, or in person if you’d rather, and we keep you updated at every stage.
Residential Sales and Purchases
Whether you’re buying your first home or selling to move on, we work closely with your estate agent and financial advisor to keep things moving without unnecessary delay. We put your needs first, aiming to make the process as straightforward and stress free as possible.
Remortgages
Remortgaging is a popular way to raise money for home improvements or to pay off other borrowing. We work with financial advisors to support clients through the process, offer competitive remortgage fees, and can often complete within 30 days of instruction. If you’re using a fees-assisted product through your lender, we can also help with related paperwork, such as adding or removing a party from the title, which typically isn’t covered under those products.
Co-Ownership
We’ve been on the Co-Ownership panel for many years, helping first time buyers get a foot on the property ladder. The scheme allows you to buy part of a property while renting the remainder, with the option to buy the rest outright later on.
Buy to Let Properties
We act regularly for landlords, advising on responsibilities under the Landlord Registration and Tenancy Deposit schemes. Every buy to let purchase we handle includes a client-specific tenancy agreement, free of charge.
Equity Release
Equity Release allows homeowners, typically those approaching or in retirement, to raise money from their property without having to sell up or move. The loan is only repaid when the property is eventually sold, or when the homeowner passes away. We’ve supported many clients through this process and can talk you through whether it’s the right option for you.
Help to Buy Purchases
If you’re using the Help to Buy scheme, we handle the paperwork needed to claim your bonus as part of your purchase. Worth noting: the bonus itself can’t be used towards your deposit or to cover additional costs like solicitor or estate agent fees.
Commercial Property
We act on the purchase and sale of commercial premises, including transactions involving bank loan facilities, and can negotiate lease terms on your behalf, whether you’re a landlord or a tenant.
Agricultural Land, Sites and Self Build
We act for farming and agricultural businesses across Banbridge and the surrounding area, tailoring our service to individual needs. This includes purchase, sale and refinance of agricultural land and self build sites, negotiating land letting agreements for landlords and tenants, and agreeing supply and profit sharing arrangements with suppliers.
Property Advice for Belfast Clients
As well as our Banbridge office, we hold regular appointments in Belfast for clients who’d rather not make the journey. Whether it’s a residential purchase, a remortgage or commercial property advice, the same team and the same fixed fee approach applies wherever you meet us.
We also have appointments in Portrush for clients on the North Coast.
