Moving in Ossett, Pontefract or one of the new estates around Wakefield? We handle moves across the district online, with a named conveyancer and updates on WhatsApp as things move.
Real people, updates on WhatsApp
Every stage of your move, with real dates. Check in whenever you like, even at 2am.
Your conveyancer's name and face, not a case number. Usually replies within 2 hours.
No logging in to find out what's happening. We tell you, as it happens.

A small payment to start, the rest on completion. Every penny itemised.
Sale fallen through, and not your fault? You get a second go, even on a different property.

You won't need to visit us. ID checks, forms and signatures all happen online, and you can see where things stand in My Koala at any time of day.
The local authority search goes to Wakefield Council, which covers the whole district, including Castleford, Pontefract, Normanton and Ossett. Yorkshire Water handles the water and drainage search.
The district is in the heart of the Yorkshire coalfield, home to the National Coal Mining Museum, so a coal mining search is part of most purchases. Near the Calder and the Aire, we look closely at the flood search as well. Our guide to conveyancing searches explains what each one checks.
Developers often set tight deadlines to exchange. Our guide to why conveyancing takes so long explains what can hold a purchase up, and how we keep it moving.
