Our approach
We listen before we advise. In a 30-minute discovery call we map the legal landscape around your property matter — identifying risks, timelines and likely costs so there are no surprises later. This consultation is offered at no charge for first-time clients.
Our team conducts title searches, reviews planning constraints, examines covenants and checks for outstanding charges. For commercial transactions we also audit existing tenancy arrangements and service-charge structures to protect your position.
We draft or review contracts, transfer deeds, lease agreements and licences. Every clause is stress-tested against your objectives. Where the other side pushes back, we negotiate firmly while keeping the deal on track.
On completion day we handle the exchange of funds, registration at Land Registry and stamp-duty filings. After completion we remain available for ongoing queries — because property ownership rarely ends at the front door.
Practice areas
From first-time buyer mortgages to remortgages and equity transfers, we handle every aspect of residential property transactions. Our average turnaround from instruction to completion is 8 weeks — well below the regional average of 12.
We advise landlords, tenants and developers on office, retail and industrial premises. Our commercial team has completed transactions ranging from single-unit shops to multi-million-pound mixed-use developments across Belfast and beyond.
Boundary disagreements and adverse-possession claims can escalate quickly. We combine expert surveyor partnerships with strong litigation skills to resolve disputes through negotiation where possible and court action when necessary.
We draft, review and negotiate residential and commercial leases. Whether you need a short assured tenancy for a rental flat or a 25-year institutional lease for a warehouse, we ensure your interests are locked in from day one.
Navigating planning permission in Northern Ireland involves local development plans, environmental assessments and sometimes listed-building consent. We guide developers and homeowners through the application process and represent clients at planning appeals.
Transferring property between generations involves stamp duty, capital-gains tax and inheritance-tax considerations. We work alongside tax advisers to structure transfers efficiently, whether through lifetime gifts, family trusts or will-based succession.
Track record
Since 2009 we have guided residential and commercial clients through property purchases, sales, leases and disputes across every county in Northern Ireland.
Our meticulous due-diligence process means deals rarely fall through. When issues arise, we resolve them before they become deal-breakers.
Through boundary litigation, breach-of-covenant claims and construction-defect actions, we have recovered over thirty-eight million pounds for our clients.
Common questions
Our residential conveyancing fees start at £595 plus VAT for a straightforward freehold purchase. Leasehold transactions, new-builds and shared-ownership schemes carry additional complexity, so we provide a tailored quote after an initial review of the property details and mortgage offer.
The average timeline from instruction to completion is around eight weeks for a chain-free purchase. Chains, mortgage-offer delays and outstanding planning queries can extend this. We keep you updated at every stage with fortnightly progress reports by email.
Our practising certificates cover Northern Ireland. For cross-border matters involving the Republic of Ireland or England and Wales, we collaborate with trusted partner firms in those jurisdictions to ensure seamless representation.
Please bring photo identification (passport or driving licence), proof of address dated within the last three months, your mortgage agreement in principle (if applicable) and any correspondence you have received relating to the property — including estate-agent particulars, existing lease documents or planning notices.
Yes. Agricultural land in Northern Ireland often involves commonage rights, turbary rights and specific environmental designations. Our team has particular experience with DAERA-regulated land and can advise on single-farm-payment entitlements that may transfer with the holding.
We always attempt mediation first — it is faster and less expensive. If court proceedings become necessary, we prepare a robust case supported by expert surveyor evidence, historical ordnance-survey data and title-plan analysis. Most boundary disputes are resolved at county-court level within six to nine months.
