We are committed to offering empathetic, comprehensive, and accessible legal services. We aim to simplify the complex landscape of land and title law, turning what can often seem like an insurmountable legal mountain into manageable steps.
Land and title law governs the legal aspects relating to property ownership, rights, and interests. These legal facets apply to all forms of property, from the house in which you live to the land on which you plan to build your dream project. At the intersection of law, real estate, and finance, land and title law is an integral part of property transactions, shaping the legal landscapes within which we live, work, and grow.
Navigating this landscape requires a deep understanding of the various nuances and potential pitfalls of property transactions. It requires knowledge of land registration, property ownership rights, shared ownership mechanisms, property restrictions, and more. Understanding and managing these complex elements are crucial to protecting your property rights, mitigating legal risks, and achieving your property ownership objectives.

HM Land Registry (HMLR) Fees: The fees related to the registration of property ownership changes can be complex. Our team helps you understand these costs and ensures that all HMLR procedures are completed accurately and efficiently.
Severance of Joint Tenancy: If a change in circumstances necessitates a shift from a joint tenancy to a tenancy in common, we provide clear advice and support through the severance process, ensuring your interests are well-protected.
Declaration of Trust: A Declaration of Trust, which outlines the exact ownership details of property co-owners, can help prevent potential future disputes. Our experts can guide you in drafting a robust Declaration of Trust that reflects your intentions clearly.

Second Trustee Service under Trustee Act 1925 Section 14(2)(a): Appointing a second trustee can sometimes be essential in property transactions. We offer expert guidance in understanding the implications and carrying out the necessary procedures under the Trustee Act 1925.
Application for Possessory Title: If you’ve occupied a piece of land without owning it legally, an application for possessory title may be necessary. Our team can guide you through the application process, helping you formalise your ownership.
Registration of Changes to Registered Title: Any changes in ownership or alterations to a registered title must be recorded with the Land Registry. Our team ensures these updates are correctly registered in compliance with legal requirements.
Property Overage Agreement: An overage agreement secures a future payment to a seller if the buyer enhances the value of the land or property. Our solicitors can assist in negotiating and drafting these agreements, ensuring your rights are protected.
Trust of Land and Appointment of Trustees Act (TOLATA) Application: TOLATA cases, involving disputes about the ownership of a property, can be challenging. Our experienced solicitors can provide advice and representation to resolve these issues effectively.
