Making the move to your dream home can be both an exciting and stressful time, with a minefield of legal issues to navigate – from title deeds to stamp duty. But our residential conveyancing experts can take care of all legal aspects and ensure a seamless move.
At Giles Wilson, our property experts can help buyers and sellers in all aspects of residential conveyancing, including freehold and leasehold property, registered and unregistered titles, remortgages and buy-to-let transactions. We're a member of the Law Society Conveyancing Quality Scheme, which means that we are listed on the solicitors' panel of every high street lender. No matter what lender you choose to take out a mortgage with, they'll be more than happy to work with us.
What's more, we are able to register clients' titles with the Land Registry electronically. This means that we only incur half of the costs associated with postal registration – savings that we pass on to our clients – and registration only takes two hours instead of two weeks.
We recognise that buying a house is probably the biggest financial commitment you will ever make. That's why we strive to put you first, understand your needs, speak plainly and keep you up-to-date at all times throughout the process until successful completion.
With a wealth of experience handling properties throughout Central London, Southend and the South East Essex area, our conveyancing solicitors will endeavour to handle everything on your behalf. To find out more about our comprehensive service and receive an initial quote, request a free, no-obligations consultation today.
From advice on ownership to working with your mortgage lender and completing the transaction, our property lawyers help make moving home simple.
Life is complicated enough without having to fret about fees. We’re leading the way to provide complete transparency for our clients. We’ll always discuss your budget and the cost of your case in advance to give you complete clarity, as well as talk you through potential funding options.

The Giles Wilson team tuned in as Chancellor Rachel Reeves delivered the 2025 Autumn Budget yesterday.

The changes, while more modest than anticipated, will have a measurable impact on some.

We have also received recognition in the form of the Lexcel mark of quality, a Legal 500 listing and a place on the shortlist of The Lawyer’s Boutique Firm of the Year.
