Minutes. That’s how long it takes get our hands on your deeds and important documents. For many other law firms, this can take days.

With storage space spanning five and a half miles we have mobile racking running the entire length and width of our building – our on-site purpose-built secure archive vault is where we store our client’s deeds, files, wills and trusts. From here, our full-time archivists can locate and scan important documentation to your inbox in minutes.

For our clients this is a real benefit. Competing firms often store client deeds at remote storage facilities run by third parties you’ve never heard of. At Gosschalks, our property team can have your deeds on their desk in no time at all ready to deal with your queries.

If we advise on any element of your property estate, deeds storage is provided free of charge.
