Residential conveyancing practice on a business park in Oxford

About this business

A conveyancing practice handling house purchases, sales, remortgages and lease extensions for buyers and sellers in Oxford and the surrounding villages. The four staff are based in rented space on a business estate at the edge of the city, and the practice has run since 2014. Fee income has been flat at about £310k, but adjusted EBITDA has risen year on year from £56k to £74k, a margin of 24%. Net profit is £60k. Owning a legal practice carries professional rules that any buyer must satisfy; the asking price is £340k.
