If you're a dad who wasn't married to your child's mum, being on the birth certificate matters more than you might think.

For births registered since 2003, an unmarried father named on the certificate has parental responsibility. That's the legal right to have a say in big decisions like their schooling and medical care.

If you're not on it, you can still get parental responsibility, by agreement or through the court. It's worth sorting sooner rather than later.

Common law marriage doesn't exist.

You can build a whole life with someone, share a home and raise children together, and in the eyes of the law you still have none of the protections a married couple has.

Most people only find this out at the worst possible moment, when a relationship ends or a partner dies.

If you're living with your partner and not married, it's worth knowing where you actually stand. We're always happy to talk it through.

Most law firms sit in glass towers. Ours sits in a red-brick house on a Chislehurst street, with a porch and a garden wall.

We think that suits the work. People come to us at the big moments, buying a home, sorting a will, planning for their family.

Those conversations belong somewhere that feels human, not somewhere that feels like a corporate headquarters.

Same building, same street, same faces year after year. In law, that continuity matters. The advice you get is only as good as the firm still being there when you need it again.

If you're in Chislehurst, you'll find us in the house with the Wellers sign. Kettle usually on!

We asked our Chislehurst team one question: what do you enjoy most about working here?

The answers had a lot in common.

A close-knit office where people look out for each other.

Clients who come back, and bring their friends and family with them.

And a lovely part of Chislehurst to spend the day in, with local shops and green space a short walk away.

If you're in Chislehurst and need legal advice from people who are part of the community, come and say hello.

'You don't need a solicitor until your offer's been accepted.'

We hear this one a lot, and waiting costs people weeks.

Here's why...

When your offer is accepted, the estate agent asks for your solicitor's details straight away. If you haven't chosen one, you're now researching firms, comparing quotes and filling in forms while the seller wonders how serious you are. Sales have been lost in exactly that gap.

Choose your solicitor while you're still house hunting. There's nothing to pay until you instruct us on an actual purchase, and when the call comes, you give the agent a name on the spot.

Buying in Chislehurst or Bromley? We're local, and we're ready when you are.

What actually happens on completion day?

You wake up in one house. You'll sleep in another. In between, this happens.

Your solicitor sends the purchase money to the seller's solicitor, usually mid-morning. Once it lands, the seller's side confirms completion and the estate agent is told to release the keys. That's the moment the house is legally yours. Most buyers collect keys between midday and 2pm, though a long chain can push it later.

Our advice for the day itself: don't book the removal van for 8am sharp, and keep the kettle packed last.

We've guided completion days across Chislehurst and Bromley for decades. If yours is coming up, you're in good hands.

'Why does conveyancing take so long?'

The honest answer: most of the time, your solicitor is waiting too. Waiting for search results from the local council, which in some areas takes weeks. Waiting for the seller's side to answer enquiries. Waiting for mortgage offers, and for the people above and below you in the chain.

A good solicitor can't remove the waiting, but can stop it stacking up. Searches ordered on day one. The other side chased weekly. Enquiries answered the day they arrive.

That's how we run every purchase. Got a question about a move in Chislehurst or Bromley? Ask in the comments or send us a message.

Your first home doesn't come with instructions. So here's the part nobody explains: what your solicitor actually does between your offer and your keys.

We check the seller really owns what they're selling. We search for the things you can't see on a viewing, like planned developments nearby, or whether that extension ever got permission. We read the lease line by line if it's a flat. We make sure your lender's conditions are met. And we only let your money move when everything checks out.

That's the job: protecting the biggest purchase you'll ever make.

If you're buying your first place in Chislehurst or Bromley, we'll walk you through every step in plain English. No jargon, no surprises.
