Buying or selling a home is exciting but it can also be stressful. For most of us a property transaction involves the largest financial commitment we will ever make, which is why good legal support is crucial to the smooth running of the whole process.

The residential property team at Atherton Godfrey will look after all the legal aspects of buying or selling your home, including the repayment of your existing mortgage and obtaining funds from your new mortgage lender.

Because some aspects of a property transaction take time – obtaining title deeds, setting 'searches' in motion and resolving particular legal problems that can crop up – we like clients to contact us as soon as possible after a decision to move has been made.
