Who We Are
About Westmoreland Douglas
A specialist residential conveyancing consultancy built on expertise, integrity, and a genuine commitment to our clients.
Our Story
Westmoreland Douglas was established with a clear purpose: to provide individuals and families across England and Wales with specialist residential conveyancing of the highest standard. We work with a wide spectrum of clients — from first-time buyers taking their first step onto the property ladder, through to seasoned investors managing complex portfolios — and we tailor our service to the individual needs of every person we act for.
We believe that no two transactions are the same, and no two clients are the same. Whether you need careful guidance through an unfamiliar process or a swift, efficient service to meet a tight deadline, our consultants take the time to understand your circumstances and deliver a genuinely personal service at every stage.
As a consultancy, we provide legal services via Taylor Rose Limited. Our consultants are experienced, independently regulated legal professionals who operate under the Taylor Rose Limited umbrella, combining the strength of an established conveyancing firm with the focused, personal service that defines our practice.
Registered in York, we operate through a network of consultants located across England and Wales — including Oxford, North London, and a number of other regional locations — ensuring genuine nationwide coverage backed by local knowledge.

With our registered office in York and consultants in Oxford, North London, and across the country, we combine the consistency of a specialist consultancy with the reach of a truly national network. Wherever your property is located, we have you covered.
