First time buyers
You are about to make one of the most important and expensive decisions of your life. Without help from family etc, budgets can feel tight. You want to make sure you're making the right decisions and are getting the best possible advice for your money.
The law of property ownership in England and Wales is complex. Every property is different. Each transaction will face different hurdles.
Your solicitor must set out the options at every stage, in a way that empowers you to make your own decisions.
“We are in and very happy!
I just wanted to thank you for making a potentially stressful process really as painless as it can be! ”
Family home
You've probably dealt with solicitors before. Perhaps you had stressful or costly experiences. Now you’re looking for a firm that really does work only for your benefit. That’s us.
“I was looking for a local solicitor who offered a personal service as opposed to a large organisation... I would recommend Julie West Solicitors to anyone I know.”
Property investors
We have experience working with many buy-to-let landlords. We work to your budget and timescale. We get to the bottom of any issues at the earliest opportunity. We suggest and implement solutions, always taking into account the value of your property now and in the future.
“Nice friendly approach which made me feel very comfortable. The service I received was very professional and searches were carried out very thoroughly, no stone was left unturned. ”
Downsizing and sheltered accommodation
If you’re thinking about sheltered accommodation, don’t be fooled by offers of “cash back” or “free legals” in exchange for instructing the developer’s pet solicitor. You need independent advice to ensure the property is right for you. You need to be sure that no hidden problems crop up that could hit future value.
Our experts can handle your sale and purchase. We’ll also tell you about the effect of downsizing on inheritance tax allowances.
“The welcome, the help & understanding, (we last moved house 40 years ago - things have changed a lot) service was always polite and clear with good explanations. ”
