Selling a Property in Manchester, Guided by a Named Solicitor

Selling a home in Manchester rarely feels like a straightforward transaction. Whether you're moving on from a Victorian terrace in Chorlton, a city-centre apartment in Ancoats or Deansgate, or a family home in Didsbury, Prestwich or Sale, the pace and paperwork of a Manchester sale tend to move faster than in much of the North West, and often on tighter chains involving relocating professionals, landlords exiting the buy-to-let market, and buyers dependent on new-build completions across MediaCity, NOMA and the wider regeneration zones. Leasehold apartments here bring their own layer of enquiries: ground rent history, cladding and EWS1 status, service charge arrears and management pack delays are routinely the pinch points that hold a sale up, and they need someone chasing them properly rather than sitting in a queue.

That's the reason we work the way we do. Your sale is handled from start to finish by Lauren Basger, a named solicitor (SRA 455207) at a firm recognised as a Leading Firm by the Legal 500 UK 2022. You won't be passed between case handlers or left waiting for a call back from someone who has only just picked up your file. From drafting the contract pack and replying to the buyer's enquiries, through to managing the chain and coordinating exchange and completion, you deal directly with Lauren, with clear answers on fees, likely timings, and what's actually causing any delay at each stage.

With offices in Manchester and London, we act on sales across Greater Manchester, the North West and the rest of England and Wales, and our work has been referenced in the BBC, Financial Times, Guardian and Times.
