Surely there can be few events in life more stressful than moving home. That is why we focus on providing thorough and efficient property conveyancing services offering you excellent quality at a reasonable cost.
By taking responsibility for the legal purchase or sale of your home we aim to lift the stress from your shoulders and get the job done effectively and as swiftly as possible, giving you the peace of mind that comes with knowing your property transaction is in the best hands.
With more than 50 years’ combined experience, our residential property specialists have a wealth of legal knowledge, top-quality skills, and a real passion for residential property. Above all, we are 100 per cent committed to making sure we listen to our clients as an essential first step to providing a personal service we believe is second-to-none.
What can you expect from us?
Before you make a firm decision to choose us for your residential property conveyancing, we will talk you through every step of the legal process, explaining in plain English what is involved and any choices that may be open to you.
We will also provide you with a breakdown of our professional fees and an advance estimate of any other costs you are likely to incur such as buyers’ stamp duty land tax – while our trust and tax experts can advise you on related tax matters, including any capital gains tax liability you may face as a result of selling your property.
Of course, throughout the conveyancing procedure, you can expect us to stay in close touch. We understand the importance of clear and consistent communication with everyone involved, to keep you up-to-date with how your transaction is progressing and to ensure you remain in comfortable control of the process.
All-round expertise at your service
No matter how straightforward or complex your property transaction, we are pleased to put our all-round expertise to work for you, wherever you are. We have already helped thousands of home buyers and sellers throughout West Sussex, Hampshire and Surrey, who have benefitted from our extensive local knowledge and we are well-placed to act in property transactions further afield across the UK with the same high standard of care.
Whether you are buying or selling freehold, leasehold, or through shared ownership as a co-owner, whether you are looking to transfer ownership into sole or joint names, whether you are stepping onto the property ladder as a first-time buyer or exercising your right to buy from a local authority, whether you are buying or selling at auction, transferring equity, or re-mortgaging, we are on your side. Whatever your residential property conveyancing needs, you will feel at home with us from the moment you step through our front door.

Client Testimonials
For the sale and purchase of our properties we found the service we received throughout the conveyance to be exemplary. A clear, efficient and professional service from Nicholas Smith and his team.
I would look no further for any future property conveyance and as a result of this experience with George Ide I will consider them, first and foremost, for future legal matters.
Ian & Susan Archer
Nicholas Smith
Many thanks again for your work and support on the sale of my flat in Putney – as per my previous experiences on sale/purchasing properties with your help, you give conveyancing lawyers a good name! Very efficient, prompt and pragmatic plus you know what to advise/caution me on without overdoing it. After the dust has settled I will be looking for an investment property to buy so no doubt will be back in touch in due course. Enjoy the rest of the summer and thanks again.

Just a note to thank you both very much for your help during the sale of Betty’s apartment. I was pretty stressed about it all, especially after the first sale fell through. But your kindness and efficient follow-up on everything really helped me. I have total confidence in your services and would not hesitate to work with you again. Very best wishes.

Nicholas Smith was highly professional, focused and responsive. He worked to a very tight timetable to
complete the purchase of our house and I would strongly recommend him to prospective clients

We just wanted to take the time as well to say a personal thanks to the pair of you for your excellent service and support during our move. We had used you before but, like many people, we were tempted to go this time with one of the low cost on line conveyancing quotes we received. Had we done so we are now sure we would have regretted it as we feel that the exemplary service we got from yourselves was true value for money. In particular, towards the end of the process when we had to deal with a very demanding buyer for our house we felt very well supported by you not just in the technical elements of your service but also in the responsiveness and personal support we received. We have heard numerous stories from friends and colleagues of how they have struggled with conveyancing services during property transactions and have enjoyed telling people what a positive experience we had with George Ide.

A friendly, helpful and competent service close to home and we felt welcome, relaxed and confident in their hands. Thank you all.

It is hard to improve on an existing, excellent service and I have no suggestions to make. I will definitely recommend you and would use your services again.

An outstanding week – thanks for the speed and efficiency on the two deals you’ve acted on. I just wish all solicitors were as proactive as you.
It doesn’t get much better than this.

I would like to take the opportunity to thank you and your team for your friendly and efficient manner when carrying out the conveyancing of my late Grandmothers property. Other than the delays caused by our buyers it went very smoothly and I am grateful to you for pushing it through so quickly once their issues had been resolved and have pleasure to attach our client satisfaction questionnaire. Kind regards

Thank you very much for facilitating the sale of my house in Solva despite all the difficulties of me being in Portugal at the start, and the tardiness of the other solicitors.
It is great that all is completed and I am grateful for your cheerful help.
