What is Residential Conveyancing?

Residential conveyancing is the process of transferring a residential property from one owner to another. This usually happens in two stages. The first stage is the “exchange of contracts”, where the terms are finalised, and everyone becomes legally bound to go through with the deal. The second is where “completion” happens, where the legal title passes and the buyer becomes the owner.

When we act for you for a purchase, we take all the appropriate steps to protect and secure your interest in the property, and ensure that you are satisfied with our service. As part of this process, we will analyse all the information about your property, provided by the seller, surveyors and local authorities. Thereafter, we will advise you about whether the property is good and marketable for you to buy.

If you are selling your property, we will put together an information pack to be sent to the buyer’s solicitor for you. Throughout the sale process, we will guide you through the complex legal title deeds as well as any enquiries raised by the buyer’s solicitor, so the process is as smooth as possible for you.

We can help you in any area of residential conveyancing, including:

Buying a House

Conveyancers can be found in many forms, for example, call centres, online service to solicitors in established legal firms. Buying property can be stressful enough, without any added pressure of choosing the right conveyancer for you. At our firm, we can ensure you are not under pressure due to any legal matters, by acting alongside you in buying your home, and communicating with you so you are always abreast of your deal.

Selling a Property

Depending on the complexity relating to your property, a sale can last weeks or months. We will support you through every aspect of the sale process, to ensure that the transaction completes as smoothly as possible, with all your legal obligations fully satisfied.

Re-Mortgaging Your Property

We can handle the re-mortgaging process for you. For this, we will correspond with your mortgage lender or their solicitor, report to them about your property, and also deal with the finance forms and registration formalities.

Sale of New Build Homes

We can advice you on your sale of new build homes, including help to buy new builds, new build flats and new build developments across the UK. We will prepare the contract for sale, and answer the enquiries raised by the buyer’s solicitor.

Buying a Shared Ownership Property

There may be complications in future to do with shared ownership of the property, say if a conflict arises or there is a death. To ensure you have covered important issues, it is necessary for you to obtain appropriate advice. We ensure that your rights are protected, by drawing up a deed outlining how the money will be split if you sell the shared ownership home, what happens if one of the owners does not want to sell, etc.

Looking to Transfer Equity

We can also assist you if you wish to gift the equity in your property to someone else, or if you are seeking to transfer the equity in the process to someone else or even add or remove names from the property.

Auctions

Properties for sale or purchase at auction require a different approach, and we seek to also make this process simpler for you. We offer a rapid and efficient service relating to various auction properties, working alongside you, both for sales and purchases.

When acting for your sale, we will deal with preparation of an auction pack for you. This will contain the a contract, title deeds, searches as well as any other appropriate documents to be supplied to the buyer at auction. We will send this to the auctioneer who will publish the pack on their website ahead of the auction.

If we are acting for your purchase, we can advise you on a proposed auction purchase prior to the auction being carried out. It is vital you obtain this advise, since once your bid is successful, and you have paid a 10% deposit, the penalties on failure to complete can be severe (including your 10% deposit being forfeited). Thus, auction packs should be vetted on your behalf before you put forth a bid, and we can do this for you in the timeframe necessary.
