Wimbledon Solicitors

Local Solicitors in Wimbledon

Local solicitors in Wimbledon, SW19 – giving legal advice since 1788

Gregsons was founded in the City of London in 1788. In 1901, Frederick Wareham, who lived in Wimbledon, took over the practice and opened an office here on Alexandra Road. We moved to St George’s Road in 1926, and today you’ll find us at St Christopher’s House on Tabor Grove.

In that time we’ve built good working relationships with many local estate agents and solicitors, as well as the surveyors, architects, planners and managing agents who are often involved in a property deal. When everyone already knows how to work together, things tend to move more smoothly.

Call 020 8946 1173 or send us a few details using the form below. We will come back to you the same working day.

Property & Conveyancing Solicitors in Wimbledon

Buying, selling or remortgaging? We’ll keep you in the loop.

Moving home means large sums of money changing hands and, very often, not knowing exactly when you’ll be able to move. We understand how stressful that is. A dedicated conveyancer handles your transaction from start to finish, and you can contact them throughout.

Some of our clients are busy city workers who just want a quick email update that fits around their working day. Others, including many first-time buyers and older clients, prefer a proper phone call or a face-to-face meeting to go through the next stage. Either is fine with us. We also work proactively with the solicitors on the other side, because it makes problems easier to solve and keeps your move on track.

We can help with:

  • Buying and selling freehold and leasehold homes
  • New build purchases
  • Buy-to-let and investment property, including homes with an existing tenant
  • Remortgages
  • Transfers of equity, for example after a divorce or the end of a business partnership
  • Shared ownership
  • Lease extensions and buying your freehold
  • Deeds of variation for leases, new leases and tenancy agreements
  • Commercial property: offices, high street retail units, warehouses, workshops and schools

Commercial lease renewals, including under the Landlord and Tenant Act 1954

Commercial Solicitors in Wimbledon

Starting, growing, buying or selling a business

We act for sole traders and start-ups right through to large owner-managed businesses and private partnerships.

We can help with:

  • Setting up a company
  • Shareholder, partnership and LLP agreements, so everyone knows where they stand from day one

    Companies House ID checks

    Company directors, people with significant control and anyone filing documents for a company now have to verify their identity with Companies House. As an Authorised Corporate Service Provider, we can do this for you for £75 + VAT (£90) per person. You only need to verify once, even if you’re involved in more than one company.

Wills, Estates & Tax Solicitors in Wimbledon

Planning today for peace of mind tomorrow.

Plan ahead properly, and get support when someone has died

If you don’t have a will, the law decides who inherits your estate, not you. That can mean relatives you barely know end up inheriting, and it can lead to costly disputes for the people you leave behind. A well-drafted will can also reduce the inheritance tax your estate has to pay.

Our private client team deals with difficult personal matters sensitively and without fuss. We’ll explain the process, your options, the costs and likely timescales, and we’ll keep you updated in whatever way you prefer. We won’t push you into more complex advice than you actually need.

We can help with:

  • Wills, including for difficult family circumstances, elderly clients and tax-efficient planning
  • A free 20-minute review of your existing will
  • Lasting powers of attorney (property and financial affairs, and health and welfare)
  • Probate and estate administration, including foreign assets and missing beneficiaries
  • Setting up and running trusts, and acting as professional trustee
  • Lifetime planning: inheritance tax, capital gains tax, lifetime gifts and mitigating care home fees
  • Post-death deeds of variation
  • Court of Protection matters

Employment Solicitors in Wimbledon

Practical advice for employees and employers

Problems at work get stressful quickly, whichever side you’re on. We advise both employees and employers on every part of the employment relationship, from the shop floor to the boardroom. Our clients work in care, catering, charities, hospitality, music, retail, schools and vets, among other sectors. We deal with things effectively and pragmatically, and we’re clear with you about your options from the start.

We can help with:

  • Settlement agreements. You need independent legal advice before you sign one, and we can advise on, negotiate and draft them
  • Unfair and wrongful dismissal
  • Discrimination at work
  • Employment contracts: drafting them for employers, and reviewing and negotiating them for employees
  • Restructuring and redundancy
  • Business transfers
  • Workplace policies, procedures and training

Dispute Resolution Solicitors in Wimbledon

Clear advice, costs you control

When a dispute starts, most people want two things: to know where they stand, and to know what it’s going to cost. Our Dispute Resolution team knows the courts and tribunals well. We quickly work out the strengths and weaknesses of your position, and we often resolve disputes without expensive court proceedings.

Before you decide whether to instruct us, we’ll tell you how we can help and give you some initial information. We then give you a cost estimate for an agreed first stage. There’s no commitment until you accept it, and we won’t go over it without your approval. Where we can, we’ll fix or cap our costs.

We can help with:

  • Landlord and tenant disputes, and advice for landlords and leaseholders
  • Business disputes
  • Partnership and shareholder disputes
  • Contested estates and will claims
  • Lease extensions, buying your freehold and enfranchisement
  • Insolvency and debt claims
