Buying and selling property in Trelawny

New housing developments around Coopers Pen and Florence Hall, and growth around Falmouth's cruise port, have made Trelawny an active property market. Whether you are buying a first home, a lot to build on or an investment property, we check the title at the National Land Agency, review the agreement for sale, hold your deposit in our client account and register the transfer in your name. For sellers, we prepare the agreement, deal with transfer tax and any existing mortgage, and hand over the title on completion. More about conveyancing.

Family land and unregistered property

Much of the land in rural Trelawny has passed down through families for generations, often without a registered title or without being transferred after an owner died. This can make it difficult to sell, borrow against or divide the land. We advise families on obtaining a grant for a deceased owner, transferring land to the right beneficiaries, and applying to bring unregistered land under the Registration of Titles Act.

Probate and estates

If a relative who owned property in Trelawny has died, the estate usually cannot be dealt with until the Supreme Court grants probate or letters of administration. We prepare the application, collect the assets and transfer or sell the property, including for family members who live overseas. More about probate and wills.

Family and civil matters

We act for Trelawny clients on divorce, division of property between spouses, custody and maintenance, and on civil disputes such as boundary disagreements, unpaid debts and landlord and tenant matters in the Trelawny Parish Court in Falmouth and the Supreme Court. We also act on personal injury claims arising from accidents in the parish.
