Whether you’re buying your first home, moving up the ladder, or selling an investment property, having the right legal support is essential. At Robert Ellis, we work closely with a panel of trusted, local solicitors to help make the conveyancing process as smooth and straightforward as possible. With clear communication, professional guidance, and in-branch support, we help keep property transactions on track from start to finish, all under one roof.
Conveyancing is the process of transferring property ownership from one person to another. Whether you’re buying or selling a property, a qualified solicitor or licensed conveyancer ensures that contracts are correctly prepared, relevant documents are completed, and legal checks are carried out. This process helps confirm that a property is legally safe to buy or sell. On average, conveyancing takes around three months, depending on the property type and how many other people are in the ‘chain’ – a sequence of linked sales and purchases that all need to complete at the same time.
For over 35 years, Robert Ellis has partnered with trusted local solicitor firms to support home movers across Nottingham, including Beeston, Long Eaton, Stapleford, and Arnold. We do not have an in-house legal team but work with a long-standing panel of local conveyancers we know and trust.

“We offer no-obligation quotes tailored to the property type, value, and whether it’s leasehold or freehold. We help you compare options clearly and avoid unexpected costs.”
Neill Millward, one of Robert Ellis’ company directors
We encourage our clients and all local property sellers to instruct a solicitor early, ideally at the valuation stage. This allows them to complete property forms (Fixtures & Fittings and Property Information Questionnaire) so contracts can be issued quickly when a sale is agreed, potentially saving up to two weeks on the transaction.
Our teams use a digital platform called Hoowla, which connects our branches, the client, and the solicitor in real time. This ensures that documentation is sent out promptly and updates are shared regularly. We remain in contact with both solicitors and clients throughout the process.
By recommending solicitors we work with daily, we can coordinate directly with them and help avoid delays. We also stay in touch with mortgage brokers, surveyors, and other agents in the chain to keep everything on track.
Whether you’re a first-time buyer or have years of experience as a property investor, we provide tailored support throughout the conveyancing process. Our teams are on hand to explain each step to buyers, especially those new to property. For landlords or investors, we manage communication and paperwork efficiently to reduce downtime.
Leasehold transactions typically involve more paperwork and communication with freeholders. Our panel solicitors handle these additional tasks routinely and efficiently. We also help with specialist paperwork such as Help to Buy documentation and liaise with mortgage brokers to keep applications progressing.
While not mandatory, most clients choose our panel solicitors because of the reliability, speed, and reduced stress. Feedback from previous clients consistently praises the ease and convenience of using a known and local firm.
