NAPTHENS solicitors, which has offices in Cumbria, has been chosen as the North West’s top conveyancing firm for the third time.

The firm, which also covers Lancashire and Merseyside, scooped the top regional title at the LFS Conveyancing Awards 2018, held in Birmingham.

The awards are known as the largest event in the conveyancing calendar, and attract submissions from leading professionals and suppliers from across the UK’s residential property sector.

Napthens’ conveyancing team was picked from a shortlist of four North West law firms by a team of judges from across the industry. The firm has won the award previously – in 2017 and in 2014.

Sarah Barnes, head of residential property at Napthens, said: “Property transactions are one of the most important purchases most people will make in their lives, and our focus has always been to ensure things go as smoothly as possible.

“This can take many forms, from the quality of the staff we bring on board to the online tools we make available, and we’re always striving to make a real difference.

“It’s fantastic to see our hard work recognised for a third year, it’s a recognition that the team at Napthens is leading the way in conveyancing in the region.”
