# Swaby Clarke & Norris Solicitors
Swaby Clarke & Norris is an established solicitors' firm based in Barking, with over forty years of local legal expertise. Founded by Mr Swaby in July 2002 following several mergers and partnerships, the firm specialises in helping residents navigate property transactions, estate planning and personal legal matters.
The firm is particularly renowned for its extensive experience in "Right to Buy" council house purchases, having been at the forefront of numerous local transactions in this specialist area. This deep-rooted community presence and specialisation sets them apart from larger, more generic legal practices.
Their services span residential conveyancing (buying and selling property), transfers between joint names, equity release schemes, remortgaging, and probate administration. They also assist clients with wills, powers of attorney and Court of Protection applications. Additionally, the firm provides Commissioner for Oaths services, including affirming oaths and statutory declarations—with particular sensitivity to clients with religious or personal objections to swearing on the Bible.
What distinguishes Swaby Clarke & Norris is their commitment to local knowledge combined with genuine accessibility. Rather than impersonal corporate handling, clients benefit from working with solicitors deeply familiar with Barking's property market and local authority processes. The firm's Christian values inform their approach, including their willingness to accommodate affirmations alongside traditional oaths. Their straightforward contact options and reasonable fees demonstrate a client-focused philosophy rather than profit-maximisation.
