We’ve worked in residential conveyancing for over 25 years, are on the panel of all major mortgage companies, and each of our conveyancers has over 10 years’ experience in the residential property market. So, you can be assured of industry-leading advice at all times.
When we act for you, we’ll give you a direct contact email address, as well as communicating by letter and telephone, so you’ll always be able to reach us. This attention to detail and depth of expertise makes a real difference when it comes to overcoming obstacles and ensuring the best result.
Freehold and Leasehold
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 Conveyancing Fees estimate includes any applicable stamp duty, 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.
Information sheets
Moving house is a major event. Understandably, it can be confusing and stressful. To help ease the pain, we’ve prepared information sheets which simplify the process and make it easier to understand. It’s worth taking a few minutes to read through them. And of course, feel free to discuss anything with us.
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.
Get in Touch
Martin Reynolds offers a fixed fee initial meeting of one hour to discuss your personal circumstances, your options and your next steps, at a cost of £95.00 ( inc VAT), followed by a free letter of advice.
If you would like to arrange a meeting with Martin in our Reading Berkshire office, please email Martin or call us on 0118 958 9711 so that an appointment can be made.
Martin advises on a broad range of property and commercial matters including business sales and acquisitions, commercial property and high value residential transactions.

We are an International Sports Federation and needed assistance with getting our Federation incorporated as a Company with Limited Liability. We were walked through the whole process with incredible professionalism but also a lot of understanding and flexibility in the various services required. Jane Whitfield did a wonderful "hand-holding" exercise and once we had completed our incorporation she again walked us through the whole process of registering as a Charity. This process was also completed successfully. As the person that worked very closely with Barrett Co and Jane in particular, I can testify not only to the professionalism, but also the friendly and efficient way in which the whole process was dealt with until completion. We are looking to walk a long road with this company as we deal with further legislative requirements.

8/07/2018 - Good firm as I used them for debt collection of significant six-figure sum. Well worth the money paid as it was a fraction of the amount owed. Justin Sadler handled the case for me. You get what you pay for.

10/15/2018 - I contacted the firm about my Divorce and was routed to Paul Wild. I found Paul to be very helpful and knowledgeable about the whole process and he talked me through all the options.
The initial consultation was very thorough and useful. Would highly recommend.

11/28/2018 - When I needed fast and proficient advice for my redundancy package. I contacted Barrett and Co. I was not disappointed.
I was seen the same day, just 2 hours after making a call to them. I was treated well and felt confident in their ability to handle my case.
They fought for my rights and ensured I was given what I was due which was actually more than I was offered by my company (many thanks Mr Sadler).
I can fully recommend this solicitors and I will be using them again in the future should I need any legal advice.
Would recommend strongly.

You are greeted by a wonderful receptionist who makes you feel very relaxed in what was a very stressful time. Which helped a lot.
Thank you .
