Residential Property Department
The residential property team at Franklins is truly independent and offers a local, personal, professional service.
We do not pay referral fees to estate agents to obtain work, and we do not carry out volume work for insurance companies or mortgage lenders. Your matter will not be delegated to an unqualified assistant. Our approach is the opposite of the call centre based “factory” style of conveyancing.
Instead, every case is handled by a qualified member of staff. Our clients value our friendly and personal service, our considerable professional expertise and local knowledge, and our very competitive rates.
We deal with all areas of legal work involving residential property, including the following:
- buying and selling freehold and leasehold property
- extensions of leases
- declarations of trust where a property is owned by two or more people
- remortgages

Our team is led by partner Julia Kent, assisted by solicitor Sarah Bruce and legal executive Claire Simcock. The departmental secretaries are Dawn Ealey and Lindsay Walton.
Please telephone us on 01235 553222 to find out more about our services and fees, without obligation. Alternatively, please email us on info@franklins-solicitors.co.uk.
