We help you do your work
You trained to advise clients, not to chase contractors, coordinate clearances, or worry about what’s happening at a vacant property.
Yet estate matters regularly demand operational work that consumes time, creates risk and distracts from the legal and tax work that actually requires your expertise.
We were founded by a Private Client Solicitor and her husband who witnessed first-hand the operational weight that estate properties place on practitioners; the hours lost to coordination, the anxiety about supplier standards, the constant low-grade stress of work that demands reliability but not legal expertise.
Osnaburgh Estate Partners is the firm she wished existed for her practice: property and contents management delivered with the professionalism, evidence standards, and conduct that Private Client work requires.
Osnaburgh Estate Partners takes ownership of the property and contents workstream.
We secure, clear, document, and manage, under your instruction, with proper evidence at the standard your practice demands.
You instruct us once.
We deliver outcomes and evidence packs ready for your file.
