Solicitors in Hornsea, at Southgate Court

Our Hornsea office is at 9-10 Southgate Court, close to the centre of town, and is led by Director Robert Wallace, who lives in Hornsea. The team handles residential conveyancing, wills, probate, lasting powers of attorney, Court of Protection applications and inheritance tax planning for clients in Hornsea and the Holderness villages.

We are regulated by the Solicitors Regulation Authority, accredited under the Law Society's Conveyancing Quality Scheme and Wills and Inheritance Quality Scheme, and a member of LawNet. Our conveyancing is a fixed fee, confirmed in writing before any work begins, and home visits can be arranged for wills clients who cannot easily come in.

Conveyancing in Hornsea

Buying and selling homes in Hornsea and the surrounding villages, from £900 plus VAT for a purchase and £895 plus VAT for a sale. Claire Sims, with the firm since it was set up in 2012, handles purchases and sales here. We deal with Holderness coast questions as a matter of course: coastal erosion mapping for cliff-top property, flood risk and insurance, and leasehold and retirement flats.

Questions

Using a solicitor in Hornsea: common questions

How much does conveyancing cost in Hornsea?

Our conveyancing is a fixed fee: from £900 plus VAT for a purchase and from £895 plus VAT for a sale. Leasehold and new build transactions carry a supplement. Searches, Land Registry fees and any Stamp Duty Land Tax are itemised in full in your quote.

Should I be concerned about coastal erosion?

For properties well inland, it is unlikely to be relevant. For property near the cliffs, it can affect value, mortgage availability and insurance. We review the environmental search and the Environment Agency coastal erosion mapping, and explain the position before you commit to the purchase.

Can someone come out to me if I live in one of the villages?

For wills and estates, home visits can be arranged for clients who cannot easily travel to the office, including in Aldbrough, Skipsea, Sigglesthorne, Leven and Brandesburton. Call 01964 537856 and we will arrange a time.

Who will deal with my matter?

Conveyancing at Hornsea is handled by Claire Sims, and wills and probate by Deborah Taylor, both under the supervision of Director Robert Wallace.

How much does a will cost?

A single will is £220 plus VAT and mirror wills for a couple are £299 plus VAT. Wills involving trusts, and lasting powers of attorney, are quoted before we start.

Do you handle family or criminal matters?

No. We focus on property, wills and probate, business law and independent legal advice. If your matter falls outside our work, we will tell you so and help you find the right firm.
