Who you'll be dealing with

You get a named conveyancer from day one. We're regulated by the Council for Licensed Conveyancers, and you can meet the team before you instruct us.

You don't need to come into the office. Everything can be done online, by phone or on WhatsApp, and you get updates as each stage moves on. If you'd rather pop in, we're a short walk from the station.

Searches for Sheffield homes

If you're buying in Sheffield, your local authority search goes to Sheffield City Council. Elsewhere in South Yorkshire it goes to Barnsley, Doncaster or Rotherham council, depending on where the property is.

Much of South Yorkshire sits on old coalfield, so a coal mining search is often part of buying here. It tells you whether there are old mine workings near the property and whether there have been subsidence claims nearby. Our guide to conveyancing searches explains each search and what it can turn up.

Things we look out for

  • Older terraces and stone-built homes. Plenty of Sheffield's houses are well over a hundred years old, so we check for shared passageways, rights of way across back yards, and building regulations sign-off for later extensions and loft conversions.
  • City centre flats. Flats are almost always leasehold, so we read the lease and the management pack closely. Our leasehold vs freehold guide covers what to look for.
  • Hillside plots. Sheffield is famously hilly, so boundaries, retaining walls and who's responsible for them come up more than you might expect.
  • Homes by the rivers. The Don, the Sheaf and the Porter run through the city, and parts of the Don valley flooded badly in 2007. Your environmental search shows the flood risk, and we flag it before you commit.

Buying a home priced up to £80,000, freehold and not a new build, starts from £1,724 with our legal fee, VAT, searches and Land Registry fees included. Selling a home priced up to £100,000, freehold, starts from £1,246.80. Stamp duty isn't included, and leasehold, new-build and dearer homes cost more. Your quote shows your exact price, with no hidden fees.

Most moves take 8 to 12 weeks from offer to completion. Searches, mortgage offers and the rest of the chain set the pace, so we order your searches as soon as you instruct us, chase every day and send you updates on WhatsApp as each step moves.
