About Us
Who we are
Based in central Manchester, Leading Property Lawyers (LPL) is a specialist conveyancing firm helping people buy, sell, and re-mortgage property across England and Wales.
We know that moving home is one of the biggest financial commitments most people will ever make. Property transactions can feel stressful and confusing – being left in the dark only adds to the pressure.
At LPL, we believe there’s a better way: clear, proactive guidance, expert advice, and consistent updates, so you always know where you stand and your transaction stays on track.
From day one, LPL was built to do things differently. We combine experienced conveyancers, proven systems, and technology designed to support people, not replace them. That means fewer surprises, faster progress, and far less chasing for updates – making your move smoother, simpler, and easier to manage.
Founded in 2017 as a division of Read Roper & Read Solicitors, which has been providing legal services since 1875, LPL has grown rapidly, while keeping the focus on what matters: people and outcomes.
We have been awarded the Law Society’s Conveyancing Quality Scheme (CQS), and are trusted by all major lenders, giving you confidence that your transaction is in safe hands.
Our Ethics
Integrity, professionalism, and respect guide how we work with clients, colleagues, and partners every day. Regulated by the Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA), we work to uphold trust in legal services and ensure our clients, partners, and colleagues are treated fairly and ethically.
The Rule of Law
Acting with fairness, integrity, and upholding justice in all matters
Trust & Confidence
Building confidence in our profession and giving clients reassurance that their interests come first
Honesty & Integrity
Encouraging equality, diversity and inclusion while always prioritising each client’s best interests.
What we do
We are specialist conveyancing solicitors, so whether you’re buying, selling or re-mortgaging, we guide you every step of the way with clear, jargon-free advice. Our team combines expertise, personal support, and technology to keep your transaction on track, while ensuring you always feel informed and confident.
LPL services are available across England and Wales and we are fully regulated by the Solicitors Regulatory Authority.
With state of the art IT-systems, and a highly experienced workforce, we consistently deliver on our promises and provide peace of mind throughout your property journey.

Once again a great experience. LPL solicitors are very efficient. Great communication, always available to answer questions and most importantly no time wasting. I will be using them again soon!
Tasmin – .not good
Tamsin. Not good. I challenged to proceed, since no buyer questions. Tamzin miraculously produced immediate questions. She obviosly held back questions, which delayed weeks. Tasmin needs to be cheked. I have no good comments for Tasmin. George brilliant, as always.

Towards completion period
Towards completion period, it was a great experience. However, LPL looks overwhelmed with load works that prevents assigned solicitors to reduce initial energy.
