Buying and selling a house is probably the biggest transaction you will enter into in your lifetime. So you need the best possible advice to help you through this important time.

Here at Graham Fear & Co we have extensive experience in acting for buyers and sellers of all types of residential property. We will be there for you at every step of the journey and keep you informed on all aspects of the transaction, including:

Purchase:

  • Advice at all stages in your dealings with estate agents and the people in your chain
  • Information on the rights and obligations that affect the property you are buying
  • If your property is a flat, then we can advise you of your duties to the landlord, management company, and other tenants, and their duties to you
  • If you are buying with the help of a mortgage we will advise you of the terms of your mortgage offer, and make sure that the lender’s requirements are carried out

Sale:

  • Advising you on all aspects of the transaction
  • As soon as an offer is received we will speedily send out the contract and supporting papers and deal swiftly with any of the buyer’s solicitor’s queries

Where you are buying and selling together we will endeavour to make sure both transactions are run simultaneously to make your move as smooth as possible.

We are also happy to act when property is being transferred from one co-owner to another, and to prepare declarations of trust to protect the interests of co-owners who put up unequal shares of money for buying property. 

At the time of the introduction of Right to Buy, Graham Fear was the Housing Chairman of the London Borough of Barnet. Margaret Thatcher was a local MP.

The firm acted for the successful plaintiffs in the leading case of Dance vs Welwyn and Hatfield District Council 1990 EWCA Civ J0329-10 in the Supreme Court and that case is still quoted today.
