Specialist Property Lawyers: bespoke conveyancing in Camberley

Specialist Property Lawyers is a property and conveyancing law firm based in Camberley, Surrey. It presents itself as a trading division of Vickery Conveyancing Limited and is regulated by the Council for Licensed Conveyancers under licence number 11422. The firm was established in September 2009 and since then has focused its activity on advising on the buying, selling and transfer of property.

A service model with two people assigned per matter

The firm structures each engagement with a dedicated lawyer and an assigned legal assistant, so that the client has two named points of contact throughout the entire transaction. This approach aims to allow the client to develop a stable working relationship with those handling their file, rather than dealing with changing contacts. The firm encourages clients to visit its offices to meet the team and, where possible, seeks a face-to-face meeting before exchange of contracts to explain the complexities of the case and confirm that the client wishes to proceed.

Conveyancing services and complex cases

The activity focuses on residential conveyancing and property law advice. The firm states that it has the expertise to handle complex cases and offers a bespoke service. According to its presentation, fees are communicated at the start of the matter and are only changed in limited circumstances and after consultation with the client.

Professional team

Simon West, Head of Practice, qualified as a solicitor in January 2010, joined the firm in September 2013, was appointed director in 2015 and took on the role of head of practice in December 2016.
