Our clients come to us when faced with a situation that typically requires a responsive and intelligent solution. We will investigate the issues and potential problems that could arise, provide you access to a trusted and experienced advisor (Solicitor or Partner), and generate a well thought out plan, often including multiple areas of law to ensure that your objectives are met.
We are a third generation family firm who have been delivering legal advice to the local community and beyond since the 1960s, with the proud tradition carried on by David Sherwood since the 1970s and his son Alex Sherwood for over 10 years. Having always been located in the heart of Brighton beside the law courts, as the business landscape has changed we have evolved from a high street practice to a bespoke property law firm.
We understand that the purchase or sale of your home is likely to be one of the biggest financial commitments of your life and is a highly sensitive and emotive experience. Having been helping clients for well over 30 years we understand that our clients need to be able to reach their solicitor to discuss the progress of their conveyance.

I could not have used a better solicitor than Alex to help with the very long and protracted sale of my property and purchase of a new property. Throughout an extremely stressful year of losing property purchases Alex was supportive, amazingly efficient, diligent and always informative. I could rely on Alex to respond quickly to any questions and he was excellent at ensuring that other solicitors in the chain were working in tandem to finally get us past the post on both sale and purchase. I have absolutely no hesitation in recommending Alex and Sherwood Solicitors.

If you want excellent service, then I would definitely recommend the conveyancing services of Sherwood solicitors. Karen has been extremely helpful from the day one. Her attention to detail and patience to deal with complex situation is worth praising. I am really happy that Karen helped us thru entire process. 10/10!

We worked with Alex on the sale and purchase of a property. Working with Alex was excellent - he was very efficient and direct which made navigating all the paperwork very easy. Alex was very communicative throughout and was able to turn things around very quickly when our buyer was proving difficult. I can't recommend Alex enough and we'll certainly be using him again in the future.

Sherwood solicitors dealt with our sale and purchase in June 2021 in Brighton. Alex was extremely helpful and very knowledgeable. We are very sure that our sale would not have gone through without his expert and tireless assistance. We were recommended his services by our estate agents and we are so glad we went with him. We would definitely recommend this company and we would use them again in the future. Thanks Alex!

Outstanding Conveyancing services at Sherwood Solicitors are outstanding. Alex and his team recently handled the sale and purchase of my house in Brighton and London. They made the stressful process of moving as smooth as could be. Alex's diligence and efficient approach under pressure saved me thousands of pounds, which I hugely appreciated. I have no hesitation recommending him for his excellent communication skills and utmost professionalism.

I have used Alex to do my conveyancing a couple of times now and I would definitely use him again. 'Quick' and 'responsive' are words rarely used when describing conveyancing solicitors, but they come up time and again on Alex's reviews. Thank you Alex, for enabling my purchase to meet the Stamp Duty deadline last year. It was a stressful time for everyone and I really appreciate your support and help to push the purchase through.

Very quick, efficient and responsive, and on top of this Alex really helped as and when sticking points came up along the chain. He negotiated strongly on indemnity insurance and ensured that wrinkles in the exchange and completion processes were ironed out with a minimum of fuss. We will definitely use Sherwood Solicitors again, and recommend to friends and family!

Alex was nothing but brilliant. He helped us to purchase our first home in the manic rush before the stamp duty holiday ended. We feel that Alex went above and beyond and we actually completed on the stamp duty holiday deadline meaning we save stamp duty buying our first home! Which we will forever be grateful for. We would 100% instruct Alex the next time we move, he was informative, extremely quick at responding and generally really pleasant to work with. Thank you Alex for everything and we wish you a very merry Christmas and happy new year!

Alex was recommended to us by friends and I'm so glad we had him on board to help us navigate the process of buying our first home. Alex's communications were clear and professional, and he dealt with all of our questions (as first time buyers, we had many!) very quickly. He helped make an overwhelming process straightforward and was very 'on it' - so much so that we moved within just six weeks of putting in our offer! I really couldn't recommend Alex more.

I've used Alex a number of times now, most recently for buying my new home in East Sussex. Despite setting a very tight timescale to complete before the stamp duty deadline, Alex was amazing throughout, offered great advice and I managed to complete yesterday saving in stamp duty! I wouldn't trust anyone else to deal with my property sale/purchase.
He's professional, proactive, very efficient, approachable and has taken a lot of stress out of each property transaction. I have already recommended him to a number of friends and family who have also used his services and been equally impressed. Absolutely top class and professional service from start to finish. 100% recommend!

I used Alex for a purchase and sale and can't recommend him enough. He kept the pressure on to ensure I completed before the stamp duty holiday ended saving me a lot of money. Alex continuously keeps you updated with the progress made meaning most of your queries are already answered before you have the chance to ask. Thank you so much Alex and the Sherwood Team!

Alex was excellent. His advice was always very helpful and simple for us to comprehend. He worked very hard for us in solving issues that arose. He was easy to communicate with, usually replying extremely quickly. From looking at email threads, he communicated really well with the vendor's solicitors. Alex helped us hugely and we would highly recommend him.
