Overview
How we approach conveyancing & property law.
Conveyancing has been a cornerstone of the firm since its early years. We act for banks, micro-finance institutions, developers, corporate buyers and sellers, and individual property owners on the full sweep of property transactions, from a single residential transfer to a multi-asset secured lending package.
The practice is built on three habits the firm refuses to negotiate on: rigorous due diligence, fidelity to the statutory framework, and an unwavering focus on the client's interest at every step. Securities are created to be enforceable. Transfers are registered cleanly. Documents read the way they will need to read if the matter is ever litigated.

FAQs
Questions clients ask about conveyancing & property law.
The ones we hear most often. For anything specific to your matter, a short call is usually the fastest way to an answer.
All firm FAQs →Yes, a substantial share of the conveyancing practice is for lenders. We draft and perfect charges, debentures, and supporting facility documentation, and we register and release securities through to discharge.
Where documentation is in order and consents are not required, a straightforward transfer typically takes 6–10 weeks from sale agreement to registration. We confirm a realistic timeline at the first call.
Yes. Title searches are run before substantive work begins, and we put any issue in writing — encumbrances, rates arrears, defects in succession — so the decision to proceed, withdraw, or renegotiate sits with you, not us.
