Freehold and Leasehold Property Conveyancing
From your first flat to your dream retirement cottage, we can help you make it a reality – anywhere in England and Wales. Our no-obligation customised Conveyancing Fees quote includes land registry fees and other charges. We’ll also send you information sheets that are relevant to your particular transaction. By knowing the probable legal costs, you’ll be better able to plan your move. We’d encourage you to call us on 0118 958 9711 as early as possible when preparing for your property transaction.
Quality Conveyancing Service and Communication
We understand that moving house is a major event. It can be confusing and stressful – especially when you use call-centre conveyancing or people that don’t know the area. We’re hugely experienced and members of the Law Society Conveyancing Quality Scheme, which guarantees you an excellent service.
We always help our clients understand the conveyancing process because it improves communication and helps us complete transactions efficiently. We have hundreds of recommendations on Google that demonstrate the value we provide to our clients.
There are some information sheets which simplify the process and make it easier to understand. And of course, feel free to discuss anything with us or sign up to our free series of conveyancing email guides by entering your email address here – the guides will come from Alan Warnes.
Property developers
We act for developers with regard to the acquisition of land or property for development. Our involvement includes checking anything in the title which could hinder development, preparing deeds for new freehold properties, and drawing up leases for new developments and conversions. To discuss our services, please email Martin Reynolds at ‘[email protected]’ with a brief description of your project and contact details.
Transfers of equity
Equity transfers may be applicable when a person who is already registered as the proprietor of a property remains on the deeds. A second party may also need to be transferred off or onto the title. The transfer may be ‘subject to a mortgage’ (where the existing mortgage is being retained), the property may be re-mortgaged, or there may be no mortgage at all.

We used Barrett & Co re conveyancing for the purchase of our new home. Richard Ince and his team, Rebecca P and Emma D were brilliant from start to finish. They were patient and clear in their explanations throughout, and ensured that all our queries were addressed, large or small........ A professional and friendly service - Thank you! Kashif Subhan
4/10/2021 - We used Barrett & Co conveyancing services to buy our first house and they made the process really easy for us, and we completed within the period of time we were hoping for from the start. Piers and Emma were very nice and helpful, and we thoroughly recommend them.

3/27/2021 - Outstanding! I was seeking advice prior to an employment Tribunal. The advice was holistic, objective and delivered with pure integrity. The 1-hour consultation gave me the confidence to proceed and do it with pride. I went into the Tribunal alone and was against an employer who arrived in force- I was outnumbered 4:1- and won!
Not only was the advice immaculate and precisely on point , the humble and "real" element to our interaction was warming and very supportive.
Thank you!

3/15/2021 - As a client of Barrett and Co LLP for many years, I recently had the pleasure of liaising with a Barrett and Co legal executive, Ms Juliette Spanner, with whom I had not previously encountered face to face, or even by telephone.
I have in recent years lost my wife, and this was the first time I was dealing with a legal matter that I would normally have discussed with my wife of many years. During our first conversation by phone, I quickly realised that I had no need to 'go it alone' as Juliette immediately grasped my requirements and personal circumstances, and imbued me with complete confidence in the eventual outcome.
From the outset, her subsequent written communication with me was of the highest order, timely and responsive to any queries I brought up, whilst her personal standard of verbal communication by telephone in the present Covid circumstances was exemplary.
I was, as I have come to expect over the years in my dealings with Barrett and Co, totally satisfied with every aspect of my business dealings with Juliette. I have every confidence that the level of interest, professional standards and patience she demonstrated will continue to enhance the reputation of Barrett and Co. in her dealings with future clients. I unreservedly recommend both the firm and Juliette as a very reassuring and professionally competent duo. I commend them both, and wish them well in the uncertain times in which we live.
