At Lancasters Solicitors, we have been assisting clients in Chiswick and throughout London to buy, sell and remortgage their homes and investment properties for many years. It takes this level of conveyancing experience, as well as local knowledge and a proactive approach, to ensure these processes go smoothly.
If you have made the decision to buy a new home, or sell or remortgage your property, call us or come to our Chiswick office to discuss your needs. You will receive expert advice from one of our fully qualified property solicitors, who will manage your transaction and remain your main point of contact throughout. We will provide you with a professional and efficient service using the benefits of modern technology, without losing the personal touch.
Buying in London
With house prices and deposits on a steady rise, it is not surprising that the London property market has a reputation for being difficult to crack. Once you have put the hard work in and found a property that meets your needs, it is important you get the right legal advice to ensure your purchase stays afloat and on track. Whether you are a first-time buyer, purchasing a buy-to-let or buying a second home, we can assist.
Your conveyancing lawyer handles the legal part of your property purchase, which involves transferring the ownership of the property from the seller to the buyer. As part of our comprehensive service, we will:
- carry out a local authority search and other relevant searches;
- advise on and negotiate the most favourable terms for the contract of sale;
- advise you on all the title matters; and
- manage the exchange of contracts and completion stages.
Buy-to-let
If you are an investor, we can assist you with your buy-to-let needs. We have a wide-range of experience in buy-to-lets, from guiding those purchasing their first investment to providing legal advice for investors with large property portfolios across multiple jurisdictions.

Selling in London
Once you start receiving interest and offers on your property, what do you do next? We often hear from property owners who are confused by the conveyancing process. At Lancasters, we will explain each step to you carefully, set out all your options and what they mean for you, and keep you updated throughout. This is your transaction after all, and you should remain in control of it.
When you work with us to sell your house, we will provide a thorough service. Your solicitor will:
- provide advice on the best offer and buyer available;
- prepare a draft contract of sale and negotiate the terms with the buyer’s solicitor; and
- manage the exchange of contracts and completion stages.
