Phillip Thompson acted on my behalf, and the process was trouble free - especially considering the negative effects of the Covid-19 on businesses. The house purchase was completed in good time, and I am now in my new property. Butcher & Barlow have acted on my behalf on most of my house moves over the years, and have always provided an excellent service. Would strongly recommend.

It may sometimes be necessary to change the ownership of your property, for example, adding or removing someone to or from the title deeds. This may be following a separation, divorce, or in the case of cohabitation. To do this you will need to enter into a transfer of equity, our team will advise you and prepare the transfer of equity for you.
Sometimes a property may be bought or sold at auction rather than privately or through an estate agent. The procedure for both buyer and seller differs from that of a normal conveyancing transaction and we would recommend if you are thinking of selling or buying in this way you contact our team as soon as possible to discuss the process.
As a tenant you may have a right to purchase the freehold of your property or to extend your lease. Our team will advise you on all aspects of the process, from establishing if you qualify to dealing with the formal documentation.
