Burnett Barker Solicitors is classed as a “regional conveyancing centre” by a major national independent estate agent network and we handle a variety of transactions taking place across England and Wales.

Our residential conveyancing team is familiar with the different vulnerabilities of property in different parts of the country and the necessary methods of finding out whether a property in those areas is affected. For example: tin mining was, for many years, a major industry in parts of the West Country and, although much of the mining in this area has now ceased, there is still a risk of subsidence from old mine workings in the area and risk of personal injury due to poorly capped shafts. Our residential conveyancing team knows that extra enquiries need to be made for properties in parts of the West Country which will reveal whether there is any extra risk to property or life and limb.

Some recent transactions have involved:

  • Acting on the sale of prime location residential plots for a private developer
  • Purchase of property on the banks of the Norfolk Broads incorporating mooring rights
  • Various town centre property sales in historic core zone
  • Bulk purchase of flats as investment
  • Residential sales and purchases across England & Wales
  • Sale of part of a client’s property portfolio at auction
  • Reconstruction of lost title deeds to prove ownership and enable sale to take place
