We invest a great deal of emotional energy in searching for, locating, renovating, decorating and settling into our homes because the mean so much more to us than just bricks and mortar.

Remember to only ever place your transaction in the hands of a conveyancing solicitor that you can trust.
What is Conveyancing?
When you transfer a property from one individual to another, the administrative process that goes on behind the scenes is known as conveyancing. Qualified solicitors ensure that the seller has a valid title that can be passed to the purchaser on payment of the agreed price and manages the process of this transfer whether it be directly from the seller or via the sellers bank. It is vital that this process carried out correctly. Only then can the person who has paid for the property be confident of having a right of ownership that cannot be challenged in the future.
When to Choose a Conveyancing Solicitor
You should appoint a conveyancer as soon as you decide to buy or sell a property. Why? Because with fixed price conveyancing becoming the industry leader, it makes sense to build your team early on and to use them as a resource in the selling process… right from the beginning. There are a number of formalities that need to be completed early on to protect you. Your conveyancer is there to protect you, so the more engagement you have with them, the better your interests are served through the process. It also means that the conveyancer can be more prepared when the transaction gets underway. Allowing time for all the necessary paperwork to be drawn up in advance can help to avoid last minute legal problems and keep the cost of conveyancing as low as possible.
