Conveyancing explained

What is conveyancing?

The legal work of transferring ownership of a property from one person to another.

What a conveyancer does

Checks the title, orders searches, raises enquiries, handles the contract and moves the money.

Fees and disbursements

The firm’s legal fee, plus costs paid to others such as searches and Land Registry fees.

Searches

Checks on the property and area: local authority, drainage and water, environmental and more.

Enquiries

Questions your solicitor raises with the other side after reviewing the paperwork.

Title

The legal record of who owns the property and any rights or restrictions on it.

Freehold and leasehold

Whether you own the building and land outright, or a lease for a set number of years.

Exchange and completion

Exchange makes it binding. Completion is when the money moves and you get the keys.

After completion

Your solicitor pays Stamp Duty where due and registers you as the new owner.

Do I need a local solicitor?
