When buying and selling a property it is imperative that you instruct a conveyancing solicitor that has the technical capabilities, time and experience to ensure a smooth transaction. Without these qualities, the transaction will be fraught with problems, delays and frustration.
We believe it’s vital that you are kept informed at every stage of the transaction and you are given direct access to our residential conveyancing teams who will keep you abreast of progress, timescales and any possible problems.
If problems do arise, then you can take comfort in the knowledge that our residential property lawyers possess the necessary knowledge and experience to deal with them smoothly and effectively. We aim to ensure that our residential conveyancing services are second to none.
As a seller, it is a good idea to contact us before you put your present property on the market. When we obtain your title papers we can prepare a draft contract, supporting papers and forms so that a complete package can be sent to the buyer’s solicitors quickly.
With our conveyancing team’s considerable experience in all aspects of buying and selling property, we can provide practical advice on key matters at an early stage. Being in touch with market conditions we can recommend the most appropriate action and guide you on decisions you need to make.
As a buyer, it is well worth contacting us even before you have found a specific house to buy. We can advise you on how to go about making an offer once you find a property you like and assist you with the type of survey which would be best for that property.
The Law Society’s TransAction scheme, to which we belong, seeks to streamline the conveyancing process by using a standard and jargon-free procedure.
Residential conveyancing is the legal portion of the home buying or selling process. An experienced residential conveyancing lawyer will often be used for this because of the complexities involved which requires expert knowledge to ensure that all requirements are properly met.
In a situation where there are no complications, completion of the conveyancing process can take place within 8-12 weeks. If a property is acquired through auction, the date of completion is fixed and the transaction must be completed within a specific time period, usually 28 days.
