What Is Conveyancing?

The Conveyancing Process Explained

Conveyancing is the legal process of transferring ownership of a property from one party to another. It is required when buying, selling, or remortgaging a property and ensures the transaction is completed correctly and lawfully. Although the process can seem complex, its purpose is simple: to protect everyone involved and confirm there are no legal issues affecting the property before ownership changes hands.

Legal Checks and Searches

Investigating the property’s legal status, including searches with local authorities and other relevant bodies, to identify any issues that could affect ownership or use of the property.

Contracts and Legal Documents

Preparing, reviewing, and managing contracts and legal paperwork to ensure all terms are clear and accurate before any commitments are made.

Lender and Financial Requirements

Handling the legal requirements of mortgage lenders, managing financial conditions, and ensuring funds are transferred correctly at the appropriate stages of the transaction.

Exchange and Completion

Overseeing the final stages of the transaction, including the legal exchange of contracts and completion, when ownership officially transfers and the transaction is concluded.

A Clear Legal Process From Start to Finish

Conveyancing ensures your property transaction is handled correctly, with each legal step completed before ownership changes hands.
