Residential conveyancing is the legal process of transferring property ownership from one person to another. It involves legal checks, contract drafting, and handling financial transactions.
Our fees cover all of the work required to complete the purchase of your new home, including dealing with registration at the Land Registry and dealing with the payment of Stamp Duty Land Tax (Stamp Duty) if the property is in England, or Land Transaction Tax (Land Tax) if the property you wish to buy is in Wales.

Common searches include local authority searches, environmental searches, drainage and water searches, and chancel repair liability checks.
Yes, you can help by responding promptly to document requests, ensuring your mortgage offer is in place, and staying in regular communication with your conveyancer.
On completion day, the purchase funds are transferred, and once received by the seller’s solicitor, the keys are released. You can then move into your new home.
Exchange of contracts is when the sale becomes legally binding, and neither party can back out without penalties. Completion is the final stage when ownership transfers, and you receive the keys to the property.
