What the Beverley office does Four practice areas under one Morton Lane roof, with the conveyancing desk leading the file count.
Sandersons Beverley is the East Riding door for the firm's full set of practice areas, but the volume sits on the residential property side: Sharon Spicer's 43 personal five-star reviews are why most clients come through the door. Family, wills, and the business and commercial practice are all handled at Morton House for clients who would rather have the conversation in Beverley than drive into Hull.
01 / Residential Property A fixed-fee residential quote in two minutes through Hoowla, then a named conveyancer on file.

Sale, purchase, transfer of equity, and remortgage across the East Riding villages and the Beverley town centre. Eleven distinct residential scenarios pre-configured in the live quote tool: first-time buyer, buy-to-let or second home, help-to-buy ISA, leasehold, new-build, right-to-buy, shared ownership, unregistered title, leasehold sale, mortgaged sale, leasehold and mortgaged transfers. Sharon Spicer holds 43 personally-attributed reviews at 5.0 on her ReviewSolicitors solicitor page, the strongest single fee-earner signal in the firm.
02 / Family Law Divorce and financial settlement, child arrangements, protective orders. Absolute discretion.
Matrimonial, children, and domestic abuse
Divorce and dissolution of civil partnership, financial separation including pension sharing and the family home. Children's law work, including representing parents involved with social services from pre-proceedings meetings through care, supervision and contact applications in the County Court at Hull. Domestic abuse, protective orders, non-molestation and occupation orders. Pre and post-nuptial agreements and cohabitation agreements. Beverley is where the first conversation happens for a Walkington, Cherry Burton, Newbald or Westwood-side client.
03 / Wills, Probate and Later Life Wills, Lasting Powers of Attorney, full estate administration, inheritance tax planning.
Wills, LPAs and full estate administration
Will drafting and reviews when life changes (marriage, second marriages, blended families, the sale of a business). Both health-and-welfare and property-and-financial-affairs Lasting Powers of Attorney drafted in the same appointment as the will and registered with the Office of the Public Guardian. Full estate administration after a death, including obtaining the Grant of Probate, dealing with HMRC on Inheritance Tax, and distributing to the beneficiaries. Older clients are visited at home where mobility makes a visit to Morton House difficult.
04 / Business and Commercial Company and commercial transactions, commercial property, civil and commercial litigation.
Owner-managed East Riding business work
Sale and purchase of owner-managed East Yorkshire businesses, shareholder and joint-venture agreements, share buybacks and reorganisations, employment-law support for directors. Commercial property including freehold and leasehold sales and purchases, lease renewals, and landlord-and-tenant work along Beverley's Saturday Market and Wednesday Market and the surrounding industrial estates. Civil and commercial dispute resolution including contractual disputes, debt recovery and the occasional injunction. Tax planning advice across the three offices.
