Looking for a solicitor to help buy or sell your home?

For most of us, buying a home is the largest financial investment we will ever make.

This alone can make buying a property a stressful situation. But when you add dealing with estate agents, banks, building societies, local authorities, surveyors and others in the chain into the mix, it can become even more difficult and complicated for you. That’s where we come in.

Whether you are buying, selling, re-mortgaging or have landlord and tenant issues, our residential property team will provide a hands-on, local and accessible lawyer to guide you through the process. The result? Reassurance that your transaction will always be dealt with speedily, efficiently and professionally, which is particularly important where completion is required as quickly as possible…Just ask any estate agent!

So, what makes Thomas Dunton different to other solicitors when it comes to conveyancing?

We don’t cut corners

An experienced professional will deal with your legal work both thoroughly and carefully in order to protect your investment and ensure everything goes as smoothly as possible.

Although we recognise cost is important to our clients, we won’t compromise the quality of our service by cutting costs to the minimum. In other words, we guarantee you’ll always receive a personalised service by a highly qualified individual. You will know the name of the team member of handling your case and that of their secretary. And one or the other will always be available to answer your questions.

We are members of the Law Society’s Conveyancing Quality Scheme.  This means that we meet the high standards the Law Society requires when providing conveyancing services.

We will keep you up to date

We don’t expect you to log on to our website to find out what’s happening with your transaction; we encourage all of our clients to keep in contact directly, either through telephone or email.

We will keep you regularly informed, especially if delays occur beyond your or our control. This is all part of our normal service, without any extra charge.

We will guide you through all aspects of your sale, and/or purchase, and we’re readily available at the end of the phone, or by video call, e-mail, fax and, of course, in person if you want to pop in and see us. Whether you need general advice, guidance on how the conveyancing process works, or help with negotiating over price or other matters,  we have been helping the local community of Orpington and further afield to buy and sell their homes for over 40 years, so you’re in capable hands.

Our local knowledge

We enjoy excellent relationships with all our local estate agents and others we have to deal with. This certainly helps to keep things on track.

We can introduce you to a reputable surveyor and help obtain the necessary Energy Performance Certificate.

We will protect your investment

We are able to point out potential problems, for example a major infrastructure project, that could affect the future value of your new home.

Other issues, such as a right of access or a restrictive covenant, which you would like removed, can be dealt with by our specialist team.

We have a reputation for putting our clients and their needs first.  This, we believe, helps to achieve what we hope will be a stress-free move.
