The Gatwick Area
Our office is at the Beehive Building in the heart of the Gatwick business area, which makes us a genuinely local firm for anyone living or working in the surrounding communities — Horley, Charlwood, Copthorne, Lowfield Heath and northern Crawley. We support Gatwick-area families and professionals with Wills, probate and Lasting Powers of Attorney, backed by fixed fees and a CLC-regulated approach.

The Beehive Building at City Place is a well-known landmark for anyone familiar with the Gatwick business area. From here we serve the immediate surrounding communities in Horley, Charlwood, Copthorne, Lowfield Heath, Salfords and the northern parts of Crawley, all of which are within a few minutes' drive. Being genuinely local means we can offer face-to-face appointments quickly when a client needs one, rather than asking people to travel to central Surrey or London.
The Gatwick-area community is a mix of long-established residents, Gatwick professionals, and families who have moved out of London for the airport's convenient rail links and easier lifestyle. The estates and family circumstances we advise on are genuinely varied — from straightforward first Wills for young families to complex estate administration involving business interests, property portfolios and inheritance tax planning.
Probate applications for clients in the Gatwick catchment are processed through HM Courts & Tribunals Service's central probate registry, with most applications now handled online. We take the entire administration off the executor's hands — valuing the estate, completing the inheritance tax forms (IHT400 or the simpler IHT205 / IHT207 where the estate qualifies), applying for the Grant of Probate, then collecting in assets, paying debts and distributing to beneficiaries. Our Grant of Probate Only service is £2,995 + VAT; full estate administration is fixed-fee and capped at 2% for simple estates.
For Gatwick-area professionals, we understand that time is genuinely limited. We work by phone, video and email as much as clients need us to, arrange evening or early-morning calls where the day is packed, and keep every matter moving without demanding your constant input. Whether you are writing a first Will between flights or dealing with a bereavement in the middle of a busy work life, we work around your schedule.
Lasting Powers of Attorney matter to residents right across the Gatwick catchment. The Alzheimer's Society estimates one in three people born in the UK today will develop dementia at some point in their lives, and an LPA is the only way to ensure a trusted person can manage your affairs without a costly and time-consuming Court of Protection application later. We prepare both Property & Financial Affairs and Health & Welfare LPAs and handle the full registration with the Office of the Public Guardian.
As a Gatwick-based firm we know the area's business community well, and we work regularly with clients who have interests in the local business park, in aviation-related businesses, or who commute daily between Gatwick and London. Our fees are fixed and agreed in writing before we begin. We are regulated by the Council for Licensed Conveyancers (Licence 14742), which independently oversees our professional conduct and client funds.
If you live or work in the Gatwick area and are thinking about making a Will, dealing with an estate, or setting up a Lasting Power of Attorney, we are your local firm. Call us on 01293 804 665 or use our online questionnaire to begin.
