What is Conveyancing?

In the simplest terms, conveyancing refers to the legal process of transferring property ownership from one person to another. It starts when an offer on a property is accepted and concludes when the new owners receive the keys.

Why is Conveyancing Important?

Without a structured process, the complexities of property transactions could lead to disputes, misunderstandings, or even legal battles. Here's why conveyancing is pivotal:

• Legal Assurance: Conveyancing ensures that the seller has the right to sell the property and that there are no factors that might prevent a mortgage lender from securing a loan on it.
• Financial Security: It guarantees that all finances are in order, ensuring both the buyer and the seller are protected.
• Peace of Mind: Knowing that professionals are managing the intricate details of your property transfer can ease the stress commonly associated with property transactions.

The Role of a Solicitor in Conveyancing

A solicitor's role in the conveyancing process is multi-faceted:

• Legal Paperwork: From drafting initial contracts to finalizing deeds, a solicitor ensures all paperwork is in order.
• Liaison: They act as intermediaries, liaising between various parties including the other party's solicitor, property agents, and mortgage lenders.
• Searches: Solicitors conduct necessary local authority searches to ensure there are no local plans or issues that the buyer should be aware of.
• Financial Handling: They manage the transfer of the purchase funds and ensure that all financial aspects are settled.
