About Us

Who we are

Based in central Manchester, Leading Property Lawyers Limited (LPL) are a team of talented people who strive to deliver quality and efficiency in the conveyancing arena.

We come to work every day because we love what we do.  Our people are recruited with a clear mission in mind – to exceed your expectations through a modern, client-focused approach to property law.

Leading Property Lawyers Limited has been designed to offer a fresh, specialist approach to volume conveyancing, while drawing on deep legal expertise and strong professional standards.

Read Roper & Read Solicitors, established in 1875, now operates as a division of Leading Property Lawyers Limited, focusing on non-volume property work, commercial and private client services.  This structure allows us to combine long-standing legal heritage with a modern, specialist delivery model.

We are accredited under the Law Society’s Conveyancing Quality Scheme (CQS), recognising the country’s leading conveyancers, and we are on all major lender panels.
