Selling your home may seem daunting at first, especially if you are looking to buy at the same time to form a property chain. However, every sale is different, and many cases now arise in difficult circumstances, for example, when a client has to sell their home or other family property in order to fund residential care.

Having the right support from the outset is therefore essential, and you can count on us to guide you through the entire process and provide sound and practical advice to enable you to make the right decisions. We are proud to provide a personal service that is tailored to your individual circumstances and will work with you with the aim of achieving the right outcome for you and your family, whatever the situation.

Most houses in the UK are ‘freehold’ properties. This means that the owner, or freeholder, can do whatever they wish, subject to planning regulations. There are however a few exceptions, including:

Most UK flats are sold as leaseholds, meaning that the buyer will own the property for a specified number of years, as set out in the lease. The duration of a lease can vary from 99 to 999 years, and the property can still be bought and sold during this time.

The freeholder is the person or company that owns the property. The leaseholder is the person purchasing the lease. They are responsible for paying yearly ground rent to the freeholder and for any property maintenance or repairs that are required.
