Realty Law Pros is a property law practice based in Walterdon, Wales. We work with residential buyers, commercial landlords, housing developers, and anyone else who needs a solicitor who actually understands how land transactions work in England and Wales.
Our team has handled over 2,400 completions since 2014. That includes straightforward freehold purchases, complex leasehold enfranchisement claims, and everything between. We know the Land Registry inside out. We know the local authority search quirks in Welsh councils. And we pick up the phone when you call.
Property law is detail work. A missing easement clause can cost you tens of thousands. An incorrectly served Section 21 notice makes it void. We catch these problems early because we have seen them before, usually dozens of times.
We charge fixed fees for standard conveyancing. No hidden admin charges, no surprise disbursement markups. You get a quote before we start, and that number does not change unless the scope of work does.
What we do
Residential conveyancing
We act for buyers and sellers on freehold and leasehold properties across England and Wales. Our average completion time is 10 to 12 weeks from instruction. We handle searches, title checks, mortgage deed preparation, and exchange of contracts. You get weekly email updates without having to chase us.
Lease review and negotiation
Before you sign a commercial lease, we review every clause: rent review mechanisms, break options, repair obligations, alienation restrictions. We flag the terms that could trap you and negotiate amendments with the landlord's solicitor. Typical turnaround is five working days for a first report.
Boundary and neighbour disputes
Fence lines, party walls, rights of way, overhanging trees: these disputes can escalate fast. We try to resolve them through negotiation and mediation first, which keeps costs down. If that fails, we have experience with the First-tier Tribunal (Property Chamber) and county court proceedings.
Remortgage and transfer of equity
Switching lenders or adding a partner to the title? We handle the legal side of remortgages and transfers of equity. Fixed fee of £495 plus VAT for straightforward remortgages. Most complete within three to four weeks.
Landlord and tenant advice
We advise private landlords on tenancy agreements, deposit protection compliance, Section 8 and Section 21 notices, and possession proceedings. For tenants, we review unfair terms and challenge unlawful deductions. We know the Housing Act 1988 and the Renting Homes (Wales) Act 2016 in detail.
New-build and off-plan purchases
Developer contracts need extra scrutiny. We check NHBC warranty terms, longstop dates, specification schedules, and management company structures. We have acted on purchases at over 30 Welsh new-build developments and know the common pitfalls developers slip into their standard contracts.
How we work
- Free initial call. Tell us about your property matter. We listen, ask questions, and give you an honest assessment of whether you need a solicitor at all. Some queries can be resolved with a 15-minute conversation.
- Fixed-fee quote. Within 24 hours of our call, you receive a written quote by email. It lists every cost: our fee, Land Registry fees, search fees, bank transfer charges. Nothing hidden.
- We get to work. Once you instruct us, we open your file and begin. For conveyancing, that means ordering searches, raising enquiries, and reviewing the title. You get login access to our case-tracking portal.
- Regular updates. We send you a progress email every Friday. If something urgent comes up mid-week, we call you directly. You will never be left wondering what is happening.
- Completion. On the day of completion, we transfer funds, confirm with the other side, and notify you the moment it is done. We then handle Land Registry registration and send you the final title documents.
Frequently asked questions
How much does conveyancing cost?
Our fixed legal fee for a standard freehold purchase is £850 plus VAT. Leasehold purchases start at £1,050 plus VAT because of the additional work involved in reviewing the lease, management pack, and service charge accounts. Disbursements (searches, Land Registry fees) are separate and typically total between £250 and £450 depending on the property price and local authority.
Can you act for me if I live outside Wales?
Yes. Property law in England and Wales is the same legal system, so we act for clients buying or selling anywhere in those jurisdictions. We handle everything electronically and by phone. You do not need to visit our office.
How long does a typical house purchase take?
From the point we receive the draft contract pack from the seller's solicitor, most transactions complete in 8 to 12 weeks. Delays usually come from slow search results, mortgage offers, or chains. We cannot control those, but we do chase them persistently.
Do you offer no-completion, no-fee conveyancing?
We do. If your purchase or sale falls through for any reason, you pay nothing for our legal work. You would still be liable for any third-party disbursements already incurred, such as search fees, but our professional fee is waived entirely.
What identification do I need to provide?
We need a certified copy of your passport or driving licence and a recent utility bill or bank statement showing your current address. We can verify these electronically in most cases, so you rarely need to post originals.
