Planning law

If you are looking to make changes to your home, there are planning laws that say what you can, and cannot do. There are also certain processes to follow. Hopleys GMA Solicitors take away many of the worries as we know you have enough on your plate.

Planning law ensures you don’t change your property, or build a new one, without thinking about the wider community. You need to know what these legal controls are. Planning laws are complex. If you want to change the use of your property or your gardens, you will need to do this properly. If you wish to object to changes made by your neighbours, there is a way to do this too. And for anyone living in a listed building or conservation area, you need to know what laws apply.

We explain planning laws as simply as we can. Our lawyers are experts, so you have the comfort of knowing we won’t knowingly let you upset your neighbours. You will be kept in touch with throughout the process. We promise that any queries you have will be dealt with promptly.

Make contact with us today and together, we can plan the best way for you to achieve your property dream. Call us today on 01978 880 276.

Housing and property

More often than not, we are investing much more than money into the properties we look to occupy or rent out. These places may be our livelihood, a place we escape to or our family homes. At Hopleys GMA (incorporating Keene & Kelly & Co), we understand that property investment involves time and energy as much as it does financial capital.

Buying at auction

Buying property at auction can be an exciting experience and is often a great way to get a good deal. However, it can also be a step into the unknown - particularly if it’s your first time. By talking to a legal expert before buying at auction you can approach the process with confidence and avoid costly mistakes.

Contract disputes

Dealing with property issues can sometimes be complex - particularly when other parties are involved. That’s why contracts exist to help things run smoothly. And whether you own or rent property, at some stage you will probably enter into a contract with another party.

Conveyancing

There are many reasons for moving house but the one thing that everyone buying or selling a property has in common is that they want the process to be as smooth and as hassle-free as possible.

Housing disputes

Your home is important - a place where you should feel safe and secure. But when housing disputes arise; your home can become a cause of anxiety. It’s therefore important to try and resolve housing disputes as quickly as possible and sometimes you may need legal help to tackle the issues you are facing.

Investment and buy to let properties

More and more people are enjoying the rewards of investing in property. And buying-to-let is a great way to ensure that your property provides a regular income and strong return on your investment. The key to successful property investment is to do your homework and seek expert legal advice before investing in a property.

Leasehold properties

If you’re looking for advice about leaseholds, we’re here to help. Leasehold is a particular type of property ownership that comes with its own unique legal rights and responsibilities. Many flats in the UK are sold on a leasehold basis but leasehold can apply to other properties too.

Planning law

Remortgaging

As a homeowner, at some point you may wish to consider remortgaging – either to take advantage of a better mortgage deal or to release money from your property. And with different mortgage providers offering different deals, you may wish to consider changing to a new lender.

Tenancy agreements and deposits

Whether you’re a landlord or a tenant, it makes good sense to have a solid tenancy agreement in place. Not only will this highlight your rights and responsibilities but it will also help maintain a positive relationship between you and your landlord or tenant.

Transfer of title

Are you looking to transfer the ownership of a property from one person to another? Although this is a fairly straightforward process, it’s important that it is completed correctly to ensure everything progresses smoothly and to avoid unexpected problems in the future.
