Specialising in Property Conveyancing
Experts in Residential Property Law
Blake Morgan has expertise in high value residential property matters. Our specialist team of residential property experts and conveyancing solicitors provide a tailored service, to clients acquiring, disposing or developing land and buildings of significant value and of great complexity.
Our residential property teams on the south coast, in the Thames Valley and in London act for private UK buyers and sellers, including a number of independent residential property developers, as well as overseas clients, notably the Far East. We are on the panels of many of the UK’s leading mortgage lenders.
Main Areas Of Practice
Our team of residential property experts and conveyancing solicitors are highly experienced in advising clients on every legal aspect relating to residential property sales or purchases, including:
Conveyancing
We deliver a highly personalised residential conveyancing service with the professional expertise and knowledge that can only be provided by an appropriately qualified lawyer acting on your behalf. Our conveyancing solicitors will deal with your residential property sale or purchase efficiently and effectively, taking time to explain the transaction to you in plain English. We will provide a clear and competitive quote for the process at the outset. We are accredited under the Law Society's Conveyancing Quality Scheme (CQS).
Buying property at auction
When the hammer falls at a property auction a binding contract is concluded. This means all legal checks need to be completed before bidding. Our residential property lawyers can give you piece of mind.
Shared ownership/shared equity
We have specialists experienced in acting for both individuals and Housing Associations who can and advise you on the requirements and ensure the correct procedures are followed.
Extending a lease and/or buying the freehold
For tenants who may have the right to enfranchise (purchase the freehold) or to extend their lease, we advise on all aspects of the process, from whether you qualify, to approval of the necessary documentation.
Transfers of equity/deeds of gift
It may be necessary to change the ownership of your property, for example following a separation or divorce. In these instances, and many others, a transfer of equity will be required and we can prepare this for you.
Financial arrangements
We can assist in connection with all mortgages (redemption of an existing mortgage, re-mortgage with a new lender, or the taking of a new mortgage when buying a property), private loans and Home Equity Release Schemes.
Residential tenancies and licences
We can prepare Assured Shorthold Tenancy Agreements or licences.
Granting and terminating rights of way and other easements
Rights of way and other easements include rights of access to and from a property, parking area or common area; rights of drainage and other services; rights of repair and many more.
Residential property services for businesses
These include: acquisition and disposal of businesses with residential property attached; relocation conveyancing schemes; residential property services for new developments; and farm land sales and purchase and agricultural tenancies.
Second homes/investment properties
We have significant expertise in advising clients on residential property portfolio sales and on buying residential properties for buy-to-let, investment or development purposes, or simply to help the next generation onto the property ladder. Specifically, we can advise on Stamp Duty Land Tax and the wider tax implications, on HMOs (Homes of Multiple Occupancy) and Local Authority planning requirements.

We are always as transparent as we can be about our costs upfront to help you understand the options available to you.
