Buying a Property: Our Conveyancing Service

Conveyancing is the process of transferring the legal ownership of a property from the seller to the buyer. Once your offer has been accepted on a property, our conveyancing solicitors will begin by examining the contract and other key documentation.

Carry out document checks

The first step is to check the title documents to ensure the seller is the legal owner of the property and, therefore, has the right to sell it. This is becoming increasingly important because of property fraud. At this stage, we will also ask the buyer to provide answers to any enquiries that are needed. We will examine and make you aware of boundary information, any rights, obligations and restrictions that come with ownership of the property, and details on the fixtures and fittings.

Apply for a mortgage

If you require a mortgage to fund your property purchase, we will examine your offer and advise you on its implications, so you can be sure it fits in with your financial situation. Your lender will usually require a survey to be carried out to identify the value of the property and to assess its structural integrity. You may wish to carry out additional and more extensive surveys, which we can arrange on your behalf.

Exchange of contracts

Once negotiations on the terms of the contract are complete, we will send you a detailed report on all relevant aspects of the property and arrange for the contracts to be exchanged. At that point, the deposit (usually 10% of the purchase price) is transferred to the seller’s solicitor. Once complete, the contract of sale is legally binding on all parties.

Completion

On the date of completion, we will transfer the remaining amount for the property to the seller’s solicitor and the keys to your new home can be collected from the seller or the estate agents. After completion, we ensure any Stamp Duty Land Tax is paid on time and your ownership is registered with the Land Registry.
