Butcher & Barlow were recommended by a friend. From our first telephone conversation, I was impressed with Paige's knowledge and speed in finding the right pathway for us to follow to obtain the required result. My experience of Solicitors has never been amiable. Except for now. I would highly recommend Paige.

Residential Property Solicitors in Bramhall & Stockport
Our Residential Property Solicitors in Bramhall advise buyers, sellers and homeowners across the region, from the point your offer is accepted through to completion.
We advise on sales and purchases, remortgages, transfers of equity, leasehold transactions and new build purchases. Whatever your transaction involves, we will explain the legal points that affect the property before you exchange contracts, such as ground rent, service charges and any restrictions on the title.
Pricing information for house sales, house purchases and remortgages is available on our website. We will provide a written quote setting out the costs that apply to your transaction at the outset.
Our conveyancing service is accredited under the Law Society’s Conveyancing Quality Scheme (CQS). Most major mortgage lenders require CQS accreditation when deciding which firms can join their approved panels.
If you are buying or selling in Bramhall or elsewhere in Stockport, call our Residential Property Team on 0161 439 8228 or make an enquiry.
Family Law & Divorce Solicitors in Bramhall
Family matters often arise when life already feels uncertain. Our Family Law Solicitors offer sensitive, practical advice, whether you are considering a divorce, dealing with the end of a relationship or working out arrangements for your children.
During your first conversation with us, we will listen to your circumstances and explain your initial options in plain English. You do not need to have decided what you want to do. Our divorce solicitors in Bramhall will help you understand where you stand and what each option could mean.
We can advise on:
- Divorce and separation
- Financial arrangements and the division of assets on divorce
- Child arrangements, including where children live and how time is shared between parents
- Prenuptial and postnuptial agreements
- Civil partnership dissolution
- Domestic abuse injunctions and protection from harassment
- Care proceedings and social services involvement
Members of our Family Law Team hold Law Society accreditations and are members of Resolution, whose members work to resolve family matters constructively. Where it is appropriate, we will look at whether negotiation or mediation could help you reach an agreement without going to court. If court proceedings are needed, we will help you prepare and explain what to expect at each stage.
Legal aid may be available for some family matters in specific circumstances, and we can discuss whether you may be eligible.
Employment Law in Bramhall & Stockport
Difficulties at work can affect your income, your career and your wellbeing, and early advice gives you a clearer understanding of your rights and options.
Our employment law advice for employees covers settlement agreements, unfair dismissal, redundancy, workplace discrimination and whistleblowing. If your dispute reaches the Employment Tribunal, we can represent you.
Wills, Trusts & Estates in Bramhall
Planning ahead is easy to postpone, yet clear and up-to-date arrangements can make a real difference to the people you care about. Our Wills, Trusts and Probate Solicitors in Bramhall will talk through your options and help you prepare a Will that reflects your wishes and provides for those who matter to you.
We also advise on Lasting Powers of Attorney (LPAs), which let you choose people you trust to make decisions about your finances or your health and welfare if you lose the capacity to make them yourself. If someone has already lost capacity without an LPA in place, we can advise their family on applying to the Court of Protection.
After a death, we can support you through probate and the administration of the estate, from valuing assets and dealing with Inheritance Tax to paying debts and distributing the estate to beneficiaries. We recognise that this can be an emotional time and will aim to make the process as manageable as possible for you.
If a dispute arises over a Will or estate, our Contentious Probate Team can advise you on your options.
Clinical Negligence & Personal Injury Solicitors in Bramhall
If you have suffered harm because medical treatment may have fallen below the standard you were entitled to expect, our Clinical Negligence Team can assess what happened and advise whether you may have grounds for a claim.
If someone else’s negligence has caused you an injury, whether on the road, at work or in a public place, our Personal Injury Team can advise you on your options and whether compensation may be available.
Legal services for businesses in Bramhall & Stockport
Our commercial solicitors in Bramhall and the wider Stockport area advise owner-managed companies, professional practices, commercial landlords and growing regional businesses on day-to-day legal issues as well as significant transactions and disputes.
Corporate & commercial law
Our Corporate Solicitors advise on company formation and structure, shareholder and partnership agreements, business sales and purchases, franchising and the commercial contracts your business relies on. Before you commit, we will explain what the documents mean in practice and point out any areas of risk.
Commercial property
The terms of a property purchase or lease can affect your business for years. Our Commercial Property Solicitors advise on buying and selling business premises, commercial leases for landlords and tenants, site acquisitions and development. Taking advice before heads of terms are agreed gives you the chance to raise any concerns while the terms can still be negotiated.
Commercial dispute resolution
A dispute with a customer, supplier or business partner can take up time you would rather spend running your business. Our Commercial Dispute Resolution Team advises on contractual disputes, debt recovery, and professional negligence. We will consider whether the matter could be settled through negotiation or mediation and, where court proceedings are needed, explain the process and likely costs.
Commercial property disputes
Any disputes which prevent you from being able to use and occupy your commercial premises can be incredibly costly. We have a team of Commercial Property Solicitors who will work alongside you to ensure that the dispute is resolved swiftly, disruption is minimised, and the process is as straightforward as possible.
Charities
Our Charities Team rings together specialists from across the Firm to advise charities and their trustees on structure, governance, constitutions, regulatory compliance and Charity Commission filings. We can also assist with property, employment and disputes.
Employment law
Taking advice early can make employment issues simpler to resolve. We support businesses across Bramhall and Stockport with employment contracts and staff handbooks, disciplinary and grievance procedures, redundancy processes, settlement agreements and employment tribunal claims, whether you need help with a single issue or ongoing HR support.
Agriculture & rural affairs
Our Agriculture & Rural Affairs Team advises farmers, landowners and agri-businesses on farm and estate transactions, agricultural tenancies and business structures.
Notarial services
If you need a document notarised for use abroad, our Notaries can verify documents, signatures and identities. They can advise you on whether an apostille or further legalisation is needed. Appointments need to be booked in advance.
To discuss a legal matter affecting your business or commercial property, call our Bramhall Team on 0161 439 8228 or complete our enquiry form. We will direct your enquiry to the appropriate specialist.
