Anaysse-Jacobs Solicitors — professional legal advice for conveyancing, wills and probate

OUR SERVICES

Trusted legal servicesfor property, wills and probate

From residential sales and purchases to commercial property, tailormade wills and specialist uncontested probate — our solicitors provide clear, practical advice at every stage.

Residential Sale and Purchase

Buying or selling a home is one of life's biggest transactions, and the legal process — known as conveyancing — needs to be handled accurately and efficiently to avoid delays or costly mistakes. Our residential property team manages the entire process from offer acceptance through to completion, keeping you informed at every stage. Our Services Include: Contract Review & Negotiation — Examining and negotiating sale contracts to protect your interests. Property Searches — Conducting local authority, environmental, and drainage searches to identify any issues before you commit. Title Investigation — Verifying legal ownership and identifying any restrictions, covenants, or charges affecting the property. Mortgage Liaison — Coordinating with your lender to ensure mortgage funds are ready for completion. Exchange & Completion — Managing the formal exchange of contracts and coordinating a smooth completion day. Chain Management — Keeping communication flowing across all parties in a property chain to prevent delays. We understand that moving home is stressful — our goal is to make the legal process as smooth and transparent as possible, with clear updates throughout.

Right to Buy

The Right to Buy scheme gives eligible council and housing association tenants the opportunity to purchase their home at a significant discount. While the scheme offers real financial benefit, the legal process involves specific requirements that differ from a standard property purchase. Our Services Include: Eligibility & Discount Verification — Reviewing your tenancy history to confirm eligibility and applicable discount entitlement. RTB Application Support — Guidance through the formal Right to Buy application process with your local authority or housing association. Mortgage Coordination — Liaising with lenders experienced in Right to Buy mortgage products. Title & Lease Review — Checking the property's title and, where applicable, lease terms for flats. Discount Repayment Clauses — Advising on early repayment charges if the property is sold within the discount repayment period. Completion Management — Handling the legal completion process through to you becoming the registered owner. Our solicitors have specific experience with Right to Buy transactions, helping tenants navigate the process confidently and avoid common pitfalls.

Shared Ownership

Shared Ownership offers an accessible route onto the property ladder, allowing buyers to purchase a share of a property (typically 25-75%) while paying rent on the remaining portion. The legal process involves unique lease terms and structures that require specialist understanding. Our Services Include: Shared Ownership Lease Review — Carefully examining lease terms, rent review clauses, and service charge obligations. Housing Association Liaison — Managing communication and requirements with the housing association or developer. Mortgage Coordination — Working with lenders who offer Shared Ownership mortgage products. Staircasing Advice — Guidance on "staircasing" — purchasing additional shares in your property over time — including valuation and cost implications. New Build Shared Ownership — Support for buyers purchasing Shared Ownership homes directly from developers. Resale Support — Legal assistance if you later wish to sell your Shared Ownership property. We help make the Shared Ownership legal process clear and straightforward, ensuring you understand your rights and obligations as a shared owner.
