Michelle O'Shea & Co. Licensed Conveyancers

Licensed conveyancing in Nottingham since 1995

Michelle O'Shea & Co. Ltd is a firm of Licensed Conveyancers based in West Bridgford, Nottingham. The practice states that it opened in September 1995 and has since built its work around residential property transactions, combining legal handling of a matter with what it describes as a personal, small-firm approach. It is regulated by the Council for Licensed Conveyancers under practice licence number 11281.

Although the firm is rooted in Nottingham and most of its conveyancing is carried out there, it indicates that acting for clients who live elsewhere, or on property located outside Nottingham, presents no difficulty. Its stated scope covers any property in England and Wales.

What the firm handles

The service range is organised around the main stages of a residential property transaction. According to the firm, it can act on a purchase, a sale, a remortgage or a transfer of equity, whether the property is a house, a flat or a piece of land. It also assists clients with completing an ID1 form.

• Buying a residential property
• Selling a residential property
• Remortgaging
• Transfer of equity
• ID1 forms

The firm presents online estimates as the entry point for new instructions and states that its pricing carries no hidden extras.

Leadership and legal team

The firm is led by Adam Gilbert as Managing Director and Laura Madden as Director. Adam Gilbert is a solicitor who qualified in 2007; before moving in-house as Legal Counsel for Wilko, he worked with two national law firms, returned to private practice in 2015 and built two corporate and commercial departments. He later founded AG Corporate Law and subsequently acquired Michelle O'Shea Conveyancers, which now operates under his direction.
