At ACUMEN PEOPLE SOLICITORS, we offer a personalised service so we think it is important that we have the opportunity to discuss your individual needs and tailor a quote to you. This allows us to focus on achieving your personal goals right from the outset, whether it is meeting a deadline to complete before the start date of a new job, or before the school year begins to thinking of solutions to a problem that has previously resulted in your sale falling through. We will treat you like an individual and not just another file in a long queue.

We set ourselves apart from the rest in a numbers of other ways too. These include providing you with direct email, phone and mobile number for your conveyancer, ensuring that you are always able to contact them at a time and in the way that suits you best.

In addition to our legal fees, there are also a number of expenses that need to be incurred when selling or buying and we have provided details of these, below, for guidance. If you contact us, we will provide you with a personal, itemised quote detailing the specifics relating to your transaction.
