Residential Property at Samuel Phillips Law during COVID-19 Crisis

Written by Jane Fiddes

Tuesday, March 24, 2020

Our Residential department is now working and functioning remotely from the office so clients and referrers please feel reassured that it is business as usual.

Whilst some people may be cautious about proceeding with their transaction during the state of lock down, there are many for whom it is crucial as they need a safe home or they may be currently living with elderly parents and do not wish to put them at any risk.

There are also others who need to sell investment property to raise funds to support themselves during hard times and people who need to re mortgage as their fixed term has expired and they need to take advantage of the low interest rate.

Provided the solicitor for the other party is operating remotely then the transaction will proceed as normal without any need to attend upon you. We are dedicated to providing commitment and good service to all our client during these difficult times.

For more information if you require any assistance, please contact our Residential Property team by emailing residentialproperty@samuelphillips.co.uk or calling 0191 2328451.
