Providing legal services both locally and nationally since 1886 Birdsall & Snowball

Conveyancing

Whether you are buying or selling your home or re-Mortgaging, our conveyancing team are committed to providing a personal and professional service.

Moving house can be one of the most disruptive and stressful events of your life. Our Lawyers will guide you through the conveyancing process from start to finish and we have an experienced, approachable and friendly team of support staff who are also available to assist with any queries. Our aim is to build a trusting relationship so that you will want to use our services time and time again.

We remain price competitive and unlike some so-called low cost providers, our quotes are excellent value and all-inclusive – there are no hidden costs. We offer a thoroughly personal service where both Lawyers and support staff will have up to date knowledge of your transaction. You will deal with the same Lawyer throughout the conveyancing process and you will be treated with dignity and respect.

We have been awarded membership of The Law Society’s Conveyancing Quality Scheme, having undergone a rigorous assessment by the Law Society to earn CQS accreditation which provides absolute assurance for existing and new clients that their transactions will be handled to the very highest of standards.

Wills, Probate & Lasting Power of Attorney

Birdsall & Snowball's sensitive and practical approach brings peace of mind in later life. We will help clarify your plans and ensure that your wishes are respected should you become unable to manage your own affairs.

We can help with:
• Writing a Will
• Probate and administration of an estate
• Inheritance Tax planning
• Powers of Attorney and Office of Public Guardianship applications
• Trust advice and preparation

It is very easy to put off making a Will, or Lasting Power of Attorney. By doing so you are protecting your family’s future, making sure that, with as little disruption as possible, your affairs can be taken care of and your money and possessions go where you want them to go when you die or when you become incapable of managing your own affairs.

Making a Will is easier than you think, especially with the help of our Wills and probate specialists. We have many years experience of writing Wills and helping people to secure their families’ future.

Divorce and separation is bound to be difficult. The emotional impact can leave you drained and the legal aspects can seem daunting and confusing. Our expert family solicitor can help to minimise the trauma. Getting early legal advice as soon as possible will also help to reassure you at a time when you may be anxious about what is going to happen in the future.

Whether you've been married, part of a civil partnership or just living together, Birdsall & Snowball will help you deal with your split sympathetically, but efficiently.

Our family solicitor is a member of Resolution, an organisation of specialist family lawyers committed to helping clients resolve issues in a constructive and non-confrontational manner. She will guide you through the process, providing straight-forward advice about your options and helping you to resolve matters whenever possible without going to court.

You will always be advised to start by trying to resolve matters through mediation or other forms of family arbitration but if court proceedings are the only option, our family solicitor will help to steer you through the legal process. We will negotiate strongly on your behalf and provide a professional and strategic approach aimed at protecting your interests and putting you in the best possible position going forward.

Along with the main services we provide, we also offer help in other areas of law. Please contact us with your legal queries and we will be happy to help. If it is an area of law that we do not deal with, we can refer you to other law firms that we have connections with.
