Common questions
Can you review heads of terms?
Yes. Early review can identify issues before detailed documents are prepared, although heads of terms are usually not the full legal agreement.
Do I need a survey?
Legal work does not replace a physical survey. We will normally recommend obtaining appropriate professional advice on the condition and suitability of the property.
Can you act for a lender as well?
That depends on the lender and the transaction. We will confirm at the outset whether separate representation is required.
