How we handle your data

This explains what personal data we collect, why, and what rights you have over it, in line with UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018.

What we collect

When you contact us or instruct us, we collect details like your name, contact information, and the documents needed to act on a property matter — for example proof of ID, mortgage offers, and property details.

Why we collect it

To respond to enquiries, carry out the legal work you've instructed us to do, meet our regulatory and anti-money-laundering obligations, and keep you updated on your matter.

How long we keep it

We retain client files for the period required by SRA regulation and our professional indemnity insurer, typically several years after a matter closes, after which records are securely destroyed.

Who we share it with

Only where necessary — for example with mortgage lenders, the Land Registry, HMRC, or other solicitors involved in your transaction. We don't sell personal data or share it for marketing purposes.

Your rights

Under UK GDPR you can ask to see the data we hold about you, ask us to correct it, or in some cases ask us to delete it. Contact us using the details below to make a request.
