Transparency and clear communication from your conveyancing solicitors when buying or selling your home means the whole process is easy for you. We combine great communication with an unparalleled local knowledge and relationships with agents, mortgage brokers, local letting agents and managing agents.
Experience in the local area and strong relationships with all those who may be involved in your house move means you’ll be safe in the knowledge that we can take away the stress of moving.
How we can help:
Helping first time buyers getting on the ladder, as well as advice on help to buy and other schemes.
Guidance through the whole process of moving, searches, exchanging contracts and completions.
Buying or selling at auction.
Assisting with the complexities that come with buying a leasehold.
Advising on any burdens that may come about in buying a property such as planning limitations or boundary issues.
Shared ownership
Shared ownership can be a great option to get you on the property ladder, so you own part of a property and rent another part at a reduced rate. You often have the opportunity to increase how much you own at a later date. We can help you through the whole process and help you fully understand what shared ownership means financially.
Remortgaging
There are many reasons you might want or need to remortgage:
You want a better interest rate or more flexible terms
Your current mortgage is coming to an end
The value of your property has risen
You want to pay off more of your mortgage
You want to borrow more, to pay debts or complete home improvements
We can help with all the legal steps that need to be in place including requesting title information and redemption statements, helping you understand the offer from your lender, setting a completion date and dealing with the Land Registry.

Name withheld – Conveyancing matter
“We needed specialist conveyancing with our self build property and transfer of title deeds and we spoke with several solicitors. We were very impressed with Paris Smith – they gave us confidence that they knew that they had the expertise to handle the work, understood what was required and the complexities of a self build draw down facility and could meet our time challenges. Most importantly they kept us informed and responded quickly to all correspondence. They were personable and very easy to work with. When building a house there are enough stressful situations and they managed to provide some calm in the storm! Delicia and the team’s willingness to be proactive, they were always thinking ahead for us – it really felt that Delicia and her team were on our side! Would highly recommend!”

“Fantastic law firm who have stood the test of time! I used Paris Smith over 16 years ago for a property transaction and needed their help recently on that same property. They still had all the files and were able to assist me perfectly. Allison Fuller and her team (Dawn and Jess) were fantastic then and now. Thanks so much!”
Rich Waight
“Myself and my partner are first time buyers, we could not recommend Paris Smith enough. We had Hayley and Jess who were both amazing! Being first time buyers, we had no idea what we were doing, Hayley and Jess would answer any questions we had, chase anything up if needed and always replied so promptly. Although buying a house is never smooth, we felt Hayley and Jess handled our move so professionally that it went as smooth as it could possibly go. We would highly recommend Paris Smith to anyone who is looking for a great solicitor :)”

“I just wanted to say the biggest thank you, for all your help, hard work, support and determination throughout the purchase of my first home! I know it was a very drawn out and at times frustrating purchase and without your support and professionalism I would have given up on it months ago. Your ability to keep me updated and in the loop, as well as always offering reassurance got me through the whole process and was second to none – I can’t thank you enough for that! Having a stressful job as well as trying to buy a house is never easy! I have been singing your praises to everyone and recommended anyone to come to you for the sale/purchase of any property!
