For many people buying their home may represent the biggest financial commitment that they ever undertake. Our team are residential property specialists committed to providing you with the detailed practical advice you need, in order for you to properly understand the process and make informed decisions about your transaction.

We have over 50 years of experience in residential conveyancing and deal with over 1,000 property transactions each year. Our team of specialists combine experience in terms of both local area knowledge and City work experience, which gives our clients the benefit of professionals dedicated to providing prompt and tailored advice.

Technology plays an increasingly large part in the conveyancing process and at Birkett Long we are committed to ensuring we use this to its full potential, in order to provide the most efficient and cost effective service to our clients. If you are buying and/or selling a property, you can use our online conveyancing calculator to see the legal fees. Our fees are simple - just 0.25%+VAT of your purchase price (subject to a minimum cost of £600).

We are also able to call upon the skills of our colleagues specialising in planning, financial services, rural business, property litigation and tax planning to provide the complete residential property package.
