Our Residential Conveyancing Services
Our residential conveyancing lawyers handle all aspects of:
Purchase
Buying a property is an exciting milestone that comes with legal complexities. We conduct essential searches, review contracts, liaise with mortgage lenders, and ensure your purchase is legally sound. Whether it’s your first home or an investment property, we protect your interests every step of the way.
Sale
Selling a property requires careful attention to detail to avoid delays or disputes. Our team prepares the necessary legal documents, liaises with the buyer’s solicitor, and ensures all conditions are met for a smooth transaction.
Re-Mortgage
If you’re re-mortgaging your property to secure better rates or release equity, our solicitors can handle the legal requirements efficiently. We liaise with your lender and ensure all documentation is completed correctly.
Sale and Purchase
For those buying and selling simultaneously, coordinating both transactions can be challenging. Our experienced team ensures both processes align seamlessly, minimising stress and delays.
New Build Property
Purchasing a new build property often involves additional legal considerations such as developer contracts and planning permissions. Our team has extensive experience handling new build purchases and will guide you through these unique challenges.
Declaration of Trust
If you’re purchasing a property with someone else (e.g., a partner or family member), a Declaration of Trust outlines each party’s financial contributions and ownership rights. We draft this document to protect your interests now and in the future.
First-Time Buyers
As specialists in first-time buyer conveyancing, we provide clear guidance on every aspect of the process—from Help to Buy schemes to understanding your legal obligations as a homeowner. We aim to make your first property purchase as straightforward as possible.
The Conveyancing Process Explained
The conveyancing process involves several key stages:
- Instruction: Once you’ve agreed on an offer for a property (whether buying or selling), you’ll instruct us as your solicitors to handle the legal work involved.
- Property Searches: For buyers, we conduct essential searches such as local authority checks, environmental searches, and water/drainage reports to identify potential issues with the property or land.
- Contract Review: We review the draft contract provided by the other party’s solicitor to ensure it protects your interests. For sellers, we prepare this contract accurately and promptly.
- Exchange of Contracts: Once both parties are satisfied with all terms and conditions, contracts are exchanged—making the transaction legally binding.
- Completion: On completion day, funds are transferred between solicitors (and mortgage lenders if applicable), and keys are handed over to the buyer.
Our team ensures that each stage is handled efficiently while keeping you informed throughout the process.

FAQs About Residential Conveyancing
How long does the conveyancing process take?
The average conveyancing process takes 8–12 weeks from when an offer is accepted until completion day. However, timelines can vary depending on factors such as search delays or issues uncovered during the process.
What are property searches?
Property searches are checks conducted by solicitors to uncover potential issues with the property or surrounding area (e.g., planning restrictions or flood risks). These searches help ensure there are no surprises after you’ve purchased the property.
Do I need a solicitor for re-mortgaging?
While not always required by law, most mortgage lenders insist on using a solicitor for re-mortgaging transactions to ensure all legal requirements are met.
What is a Declaration of Trust?
A Declaration of Trust is a legal document that outlines how ownership of a jointly purchased property is divided between parties—useful for protecting financial contributions in case of future disputes.
