- ad hoc assistance to all our solicitors throughout a transaction
- secretarial and paralegal support, including for example: property searches, completion statements, HMLR forms and preparing court bundles
- pre and post completion support, including managing SDLT, AP1s and responding to LR requisitions
- opening and closing of files, including KYC and other checks
- updating and maintaining our firm data store (contact details etc)
