Owen Paulo Legal Limited

Owen Paulo Legal, conveyancing specialists in Shared Ownership

Owen Paulo Legal Limited is a conveyancing firm based in Whitstable (Kent, England) that presents itself as the only firm in England dedicated exclusively to Shared Ownership resales and staircasing transactions. Its work focuses on legal advice on affordable housing, for both private individuals and housing providers and business clients.

Shared Ownership resales

The firm handles sales and purchases of Shared Ownership homes that have already had a previous owner. According to its own description, this type of transaction began as a by-product of new-build Shared Ownership conveyancing and has become a significant part of the industry.

Staircasing and post-purchase transactions

In addition to resales, Owen Paulo Legal provides staircasing services, that is, the purchase of additional shares in a property already acquired under this tenure. The firm extends its work to lease extensions, remortgages and other similar aftersales transactions.

Clients: private individuals, housing providers and businesses

The firm serves private buyers and sellers, housing providers and business clients. In the housing association sector, it represents a small number of them in staircasing transactions. It states that it has built relationships with housing associations and mortgage brokers who refer clients to the firm because of its knowledge of this type of transaction.

Team experience and client service

Some of its conveyancers have more than twenty years' experience in the sector and have witnessed the evolution of this tenure into its current form. The firm places client service at the heart of its values and identifies regular communication by telephone, email or text as a priority during the process, given that moving home or purchasing additional shares in a property is perceived as a stressful process.
