  • Is my house freehold or leasehold?

  • Do You Always Need a Grant of Probate?
    HSR Law Grant of Probate Solicitors provide clear, practical advice on when a Grant of Probate is required and when it may not be necessary.

  • When Is a Codicil to a Will Invalid?
    A codicil allows you to amend your will without rewriting it—but only if it meets strict legal requirements. In England and Wales, a codicil must be properly signed and witnessed in the same way as a will, or it may be invalid. This article explains when a codicil fails, common mistakes, and why unclear or improperly executed changes can lead to disputes or unintended consequences.

    Learn how a share for share exchange works and why businesses use it. This guide covers key steps, tax and legal considerations, and how HSR Law’s corporate team can provide expert advice for a smooth, compliant business transaction.
  • Am I Eligible for the Right to Buy Scheme? Key Rules Explained
    The Right to Buy scheme helps council tenants purchase their homes at a discount, but not everyone qualifies. In this guide Amy Fields, Partner and Head of Residential Conveyancing explains who can apply, how discounts are calculated, and how our team can support you through the process from start to completion.
  • Should I Replace an Enduring Power of Attorney with a Lasting Power of Attorney?
    If you created an Enduring Power of Attorney (EPA) before October 2007, it remains legally valid and does not need replacing. However, many people now choose to make a Lasting Power of Attorney (LPA) for added flexibility, including health and welfare decisions. Our specialist solicitors can advise on whether an LPA is right for you and guide you through the full creation and registration process.

We dealt with Helen and her team of Rachel and Sarah for buying our new home and selling our old one. Helen and the team were great with everything to do with both houses and were on hand to respond promptly and also gave really good advice when required. The purchase of our new home had a few hiccups along the way but Helen was there to answer our questions and dealt with the seller’s solicitors in resolving the issues. If we are ever buying another house again (I’ve said never again) we will definitely be using Helen again.

Emma Peniston was very helpful and knowledgeable. She made the process quick and easy.

— Writing a Will Client

Very professional, excellent service. Nothing was to much trouble for Alison and her very dedicated team.

— Transfer of Equity Client

Brilliant company to deal with. Staff really friendly, and very knowledgeable. All went brilliantly well from start to finish. Keep up the good work all at HSR Law.

— Buy to Let Client

A massive thankyou to Alison & Louise for all their hard work on the conveyancing of the sale and purchase of our properties, the quickest we’ve ever had done, with good communication throughout and a friendly and professional service at all times.

— Right to Buy Client

HSR Law (Rachel Hailstone and her team) are by far the best solicitors I have worked with. I have instructed them on my own personal purchase and sale, and several buy to let properties in our limited company over the last 3 years. Each and every time they surpass expectations. What really sets them apart from other solicitors is their communication and friendliness. They get back to you when they say they will, they understand the stressful time and really do try to assist in any way they can to make the transaction as smooth as possible. We look forward to continuing our relationship with Rachel and Kelly at HSR Law. Thank you Ladies.

— Client

Could not have had a better service. Emma went out of her way to speed this through. Outstanding service.

Kept informed about each stage of the process.
