Buying or selling a home?

RIAA Barker Gillette has a long and dedicated track record in helping individuals and their families buy and sell residential property in central and north London and beyond.

For many, buying or selling a home is the single and most expensive financial commitment made. It can be stressful, time-consuming, and often highly emotional. It is, says Ben Marks, important you have the correct legal partner for that journey.

Whether it is your first home, a bigger property for a growing family, downsizing for retirement, or building an investment portfolio, RIAA Barker Gillette is the right choice for you.

Ben Marks, a partner at RIAA Barker Gillette, explains:

“Our approach is built around the individual, with many moving parts and often with multiple parties involved, our clients rest assured that we take control of the transaction helping them meet their preferred deadlines.”

“That means exceptional levels of attention to detail and service, regular and helpful communication, all underpinned by a personal touch. We know that every home is as unique as its owners.”

Deep local knowledge and decades of experience are also important factors that distinguish RIAA Barker Gillette from other conveyancing practices.

“We often see people choose the cheapest conveyancing law firm possible, only to find themselves sitting at the bottom of a large pile of property transactions or finding that a vital piece of information is missing at a critical point,” says Ben. “That will at best slow a transaction down or see it collapse entirely.”

“Our clients are assigned a specialist from day one who brings the expertise, knowledge and support needed to make the sale or purchase run as smoothly as it possibly can.”

Clients of the residential property team can also call upon the wider specialist teams at RIAA Barker Gillette should they need advice on SDLT and corporate structures, disputes, owning property overseas, or broader family law matters.

Contact residential property lawyer Ben Marks today if you’re buying or selling a home.
