A two-partner residential conveyancing and private-client practice on Station Road in Radyr since 2008. Founded and run by Dalia Evans and Rhian Jones. The same first-name email addresses that opened the firm still answer today, because the partners take their own files. Law Society Conveyancing Quality Scheme accredited; regulated by the Solicitors Regulation Authority.
A high-street practice focused on the two things that matter most to clients in CF15 and CF14: getting them in or out of a home, and getting the will and the LPAs done before life changes. We deliberately do not stretch into work we cannot do well.
Sale, purchase, transfer of equity, remortgage, leasehold and freehold, new-build. We hold the Law Society Conveyancing Quality Scheme accreditation, a senior conveyancing standard covering procedure, supervision and risk. Both partners take files personally, so the solicitor who signs the engagement letter is the solicitor who handles the SDLT submission, the AP1 to the Land Registry, and the call to the lender on completion day.
Request a quote ›Drafting and reviewing wills, with a sit-down conversation rather than a form. Estate administration after a death, including obtaining the Grant of Probate, working with executors, dealing with Inheritance Tax, distributing the estate. The same solicitor stays on the file from the first will draft through to probate, sometimes a decade or more later.
Request a quote ›Drafting both lasting powers of attorney (the property-and-finance LPA and the health-and-welfare LPA), with registration at the Office of the Public Guardian handled in-house. Often paired with a will review at the same appointment. We act as the certificate provider where appropriate and walk attorneys through what they can and cannot do once registered.
Request a quote ›Rhian Jones qualified as a solicitor in 2002, four years after a 2:1 in law from the University of Wales, Aberystwyth. Dalia Elhami-Evans qualified in 2006 from the same Aberystwyth Law department. By the start of 2008 the pair had decided to set up their own LLP, on Station Road in Radyr, with deliberately narrow lines of work: residential conveyancing and private client.
Evans and Jones Solicitors LLP was registered at Companies House on 6 January 2008 under number OC333958. The firm has stayed deliberately small, two partners, one office, the same first-name email addresses from day one. The CQS accreditation followed once the conveyancing practice was established, and most of the work since has been repeat clients and referrals from the CF15 and CF14 catchment.
Cymraeg A bilingual practice. Welsh speakers are welcome to instruct, sign and complete in Welsh. The wordmark carries the Welsh subline cyfreithwyr for the same reason.
On completion day we submit the SDLT return to HMRC within the statutory window, lodge the AP1 application at the Land Registry within the priority period set by the OS1 search, and coordinate with the buyer or seller's mortgage lender to release funds or redeem the existing charge at the right moment. The risk window is small; this is the kind of work the CQS accreditation audits.
The new-build estates spreading through Pentyrch and Creigiau carry restrictive covenants on landscaping, fencing, and side returns that bind every subsequent owner. We read the transfer deed, flag any covenant the buyer cannot live with before exchange, and where it matters, negotiate a deed of variation with the developer's plot conveyancer before they hand the keys over.
A transfer of equity on a separation, divorce or remarriage is not just a name change on the title. There is usually an existing mortgage that needs the lender's consent, a possible SDLT charge if money or debt is changing hands, and a need to coordinate with a family-law solicitor on the divorce side. We handle the conveyancing half of the file end-to-end and stay on it through the OPG registration if a power of attorney is in place.
The Conveyancing Quality Scheme is the Law Society's senior practice-management standard for conveyancing firms. It covers file procedure, anti-fraud measures, lender requirements and client communication. Member firms are audited and have to renew. It is the single best signal of a serious conveyancing practice on a small-firm website.
The form goes straight to both partners. One of us will reply from a first-name email address with a written quote, a realistic timetable, and the names of the disbursements we expect on the file. There are no hidden fees and no hourly billing on conveyancing or LPA work.

Speak to a partner first, not a switchboard. The office number 02920 020909 reaches Dalia or Rhian directly during working hours. There is no call centre and no triage layer; the person who picks up is the person who will work on your file.
Tap to call · 02920 020909Our conveyancing fees are fixed at the start of the file rather than billed hourly. The fee depends on whether the property is freehold or leasehold, whether there is a mortgage, and the price band. We send a written quote from the same first-name email address you will deal with for the rest of the transaction, usually within the same working day. There are no last-minute disbursement surprises; everything is itemised up front.
Yes. The firm has been kept deliberately at two partners since 2008 so the solicitor who signs the engagement letter on day one is the solicitor who submits the SDLT return, lodges the AP1 application with the Land Registry, and rings the lender to coordinate mortgage redemption on completion day. There is no paralegal queue, and the file does not get passed sideways at the busy end of the month.
A straightforward freehold sale and purchase typically completes in eight to twelve weeks from instruction. Leaseholds add four to eight weeks because of the management pack and any deed of variation. The most common delays are mortgage offer timing, the seller-side search results from the local authority, and chain coordination. We tell you the realistic timetable on the first call and update at every Stamp Duty / search / exchange milestone.
Yes, and most clients prefer it. We block a single appointment to take instructions on the will and on both LPAs (property and finance, plus health and welfare), then draft and post both within the same week. Registration of the LPAs at the Office of the Public Guardian takes around eight to ten weeks; the will is signed and witnessed sooner.

Radyr railway station is a ninety-second walk; we are on the Radyr to Coryton line into Cardiff Central. Most clients in CF15 simply drop in; for clients further afield, we hold appointments in person or by video.
