Our work goes beyond simply progressing a transaction.

Although our offices are based in nearby Buckingham, clients throughout Buckinghamshire value our combination of local knowledge, accessibility and solicitor led service.
A Solicitor Led Conveyancing Service Built on Experience
Our residential conveyancing service is solicitor led and grounded in significant experience across a wide range of residential property transactions. More recently, a member of our conveyancing team was shortlisted for Conveyancer of the Year at the Modern Law Conveyancing Awards 2025, reflecting the high professional standards, legal judgement and technical expertise that underpin the service we provide. This level of care and attention informs every matter handled by the team.
Clients often choose Chandler Ray because they want a solicitor who remains personally responsible for their transaction, is accessible when questions arise and has the confidence to manage legal risk calmly and decisively. We do not operate a high volume or call centre model. Instead, each matter is handled with continuity from start to finish, with a solicitor overseeing every stage of the process.
Established Expertise, Reflected in Client Feedback
Our reputation has been built on consistency, professionalism and results. Clients return to Chandler Ray because they value clear, practical advice, early identification of potential issues and a discreet, proactive approach to residential conveyancing.
This commitment to quality service is reflected in more than 200 independent client reviews on Review Solicitors, where clients frequently highlight our communication, reliability and ability to guide them confidently through complex or time pressured transactions.
Conveyancing for Amersham’s Property Market
The property market in and around Amersham is varied, encompassing traditional family homes, modern developments, private estates and properties with historic features or land considerations. No two transactions are ever identical, and our experience reflects this diversity.
We regularly advise on freehold and leasehold properties, long owned family homes, new build developments and properties affected by restrictive covenants, easements or historic ownership issues. Our conveyancing solicitors are experienced in identifying and addressing these matters, ensuring clients are fully informed of their legal position both now and in the future.
We work closely with estate agents, mortgage lenders, surveyors, accountants and private wealth advisers to ensure that your transaction proceeds in a controlled and well managed way.
Acting for Sellers – Reducing Risk Through Early Preparation
Selling a property in the Amersham and wider Chilterns area often benefits from early legal involvement, particularly where a property has been owned for many years or forms part of a larger estate.
Our conveyancing solicitors assist sellers by reviewing title documentation at the outset, advising on boundaries, access arrangements and private roads, and assessing historic planning or building regulation issues. Where documentation is missing or inconsistencies arise, we address these matters proactively and pragmatically, helping to avoid last minute complications and unnecessary delay.
Advising Buyers, Families and Private Clients
For many buyers, especially those purchasing higher value properties or moving as a family, the legal process requires careful planning. Funding arrangements, future resale considerations and estate rules can all influence decision making.
We provide thorough investigation of title and searches, clear explanations of legal risks and detailed advice on covenants and management arrangements. Clients value our calm, accessible guidance, particularly when important decisions need to be made within short timescales.
Managing Chains and Complex Transactions
Residential transactions in the Amersham area frequently form part of wider property chains, sometimes involving multiple regions or interdependent timescales. We have extensive experience coordinating linked transactions while maintaining appropriate due diligence.
By communicating constructively with all parties involved, we help manage expectations, preserve momentum and reduce the risk of avoidable delays or transaction collapse.
Additional Residential Property Expertise
In addition to sales and purchases, we advise on remortgaging, buy to let acquisitions and refinancing, ensuring lender requirements are met efficiently. We also handle transfers of equity following separation, divorce or family restructuring, provide advice on auction purchases, and offer independent guidance on equity release and lifetime mortgages.
Our experience further extends to residential land and development matters, including development plots and overage agreements, where protecting both immediate and future value is essential.
A Recognised and Trusted Conveyancing Team
Chandler Ray’s conveyancing solicitors are known for their technical strength, approachable manner and ability to remain calm under pressure. Clients choose us because they want a trusted adviser focused on outcomes and stability, rather than a volume driven service.

FAQ’s - Residential Conveyancing in Amersham
Some frequently asked questions covering our residential conveyancing services in and around Amersham. If you have a question that is not listed below, then please contact us, and one of our friendly legal team will be able to help you.
How long does the residential conveyancing process usually take?
Timescales vary depending on the nature of the transaction and whether the matter forms part of a chain. Straightforward purchases or sales can complete within a few weeks, while more complex transactions or longer chains may take several months. We provide realistic guidance on timing at an early stage and keep you informed as matters progress.
What costs should I budget for in addition to legal fees?
In addition to legal fees, you should budget for disbursements such as search fees, Land Registry fees and, where applicable, Stamp Duty Land Tax. We provide transparent cost information at the outset so you understand what to expect before your transaction progresses
What searches are required during the conveyancing process?
Search requirements depend on the type and location of the property. Common searches include local authority, drainage and water, environmental and title searches. We advise which searches are appropriate for your transaction and explain any issues they reveal.
Can you act if my mortgage offer is issued by a specific lender?
Yes. We work with a wide range of mainstream and specialist lenders and ensure that lender requirements are complied with as part of the conveyancing process. If your lender has specific conditions, these are reviewed carefully and addressed promptly.
What happens after completion has taken place?
After completion, we deal with the post completion formalities on your behalf. This includes submitting any Stamp Duty Land Tax return if required, registering ownership with the Land Registry and ensuring you receive confirmation once registration has been finalised.
