Where it all began! 🎉
6 whole years of Grey-Smith Legal.

From ripping out our very first office in Skelton to now having five offices across the North East, it’s been an incredible journey and one we’re so proud of.

Over the last six years, we’ve grown not just in size, but in the number of clients we’ve been able to help through some of life’s biggest moments. From moving home to planning for the future, we’re grateful to have been trusted every step of the way.

A huge thank you to our amazing team, clients, and everyone who has supported us. Here’s to the next chapter!

Any last minute donations to help us reach our targets would be amazing!

Ellie-phant and the team had a wonderful time at the Give a Duck Ladies’ Lunch last week!

Give a Duck are a charity that provide chemo ducks to children with cancer and huggable hope ducks to their siblings.

They are specially made soft toys that are fitted with medical lines that mirror the children’s own treatments.

It was a pleasure to be a part of such a great cause.

"We thought we'd have had the keys by now!"
A common phrase we hear from home buyers.

One of the biggest surprises is how long the process can take.

Common reasons include:
- Delays in the property chain
- Searches taking longer
- Waiting on mortgage lenders
- Outstanding enquiries

It’s stressful, but most delays happen because important checks are still being completed behind the scenes.

You can make things quicker by having Grey-Smith legal in place and ready to go as soon as you have an offer accepted.

Meet Margaret from our Skelton office!
Margaret has been a part of the Grey-Smith Legal team for 9 months and her main focus is post work completion, meaning she makes sure the houses people have purchased are registered in their names.

If Margaret could give one piece of important advice it would be to keep your correspondence address up to date at the Land Registry, as it’s one of the most overlooked protections against fraud.
If someone attempts fraudulent activity involving your property, notices are sent from the Land Registry to your registered address so it’s really important if you move, the Land Registry are kept up to date.
