Solicitors.

Property law can be complex, but your move should not stall because of it. Our recommended solicitors handle the legal work with care and speed, keeping your sale or purchase on track from instruction to registration.

Conveyancing is the legal process of transferring ownership of a property from one person to another. It involves preparing and reviewing contracts, conducting searches and ensuring all legal requirements are met before completion. This process protects both the buyer and seller and ensures the transaction is carried out smoothly.

Whether you’re buying or selling, we provide the same high level of care. For our sellers, they prepare contract packs promptly, respond to enquiries with clear evidence and coordinate exchange and completion without surprises. For buyers, they review contracts, raise and resolve enquiries, order searches and report on key risks and rights before you commit. They manage leasehold, shared ownership, new builds and off-plan purchases with the attention to detail these transactions require.

The conveyancing journey starts with ID checks and contract drafts, then moves through searches, enquiries and mortgage approvals, before contracts are exchanged and funds are transferred. Your solicitor works closely with your estate agent, lender and surveyor to prevent issues from becoming delays. Chains, auctions, remortgages and transfers of equity are also covered, with clear timescales and practical solutions if problems arise.

Every check is designed to protect you. Searches flag local issues, planning matters, or restrictions. Enquiries confirm building works, guarantees, boundaries, or disputes. Leasehold packs reveal service charges, upcoming works and ground rent. For new builds, looking at points such as adoption of roads, snagging and warranty terms. Mortgage conditions are checked carefully, with funds requested in good time for completion.

You will receive a fixed-fee quote at the start, with disbursements set out clearly. There are no hidden extras, and if anything changes you will be told straight away. Stamp duty is calculated and submitted on your behalf. ID and source-of-funds checks are completed at the outset to avoid delays later, meeting all legal compliance requirements.

You will have a named contact who provides updates at each stage. If something changes, you are told quickly and given options for next steps. On completion day, funds are transferred, keys are released and sellers receive any balance once mortgages and fees are settled. After completion, they handle stamp duty, leasehold notices and Land Registry filings before sending the final documents confirming ownership.
