Moving to a new home can be an exciting prospect, yet often in the thrill of the search, buyers can fail to factor in some of the costs that are associated with the purchase of a property.

Even seasoned homebuyers can be taken by surprise by the complexity of completing a deal when buying or selling a property.

Jenna Gall, Director and Head of Conveyancing at Paul Crowley & Co solicitors, guides you through the conveyancing process.

What is conveyancing?

Conveyancing is the legal term for transferring the ownership of a property from one owner to another. A conveyancing solicitor will ensure that all their client’s legal obligations are undertaken and that the settlement and title transfer process is met and that the clients’ rights are protected during the transaction.

What are the key stages of conveyancing?

• Arrange your mortgage with a mortgage provider
• Find a property
• Instruct a conveyancing solicitor
• Make an offer on your chosen property
• Securing your mortgage
• If purchasing, instruct a surveyor to value the property
• Exchange of contracts
• Completion … Moving day!

After completion your solicitor will pay the stamp duty, land tax and register the title of your property with the land registry and file the return with the inland revenue.

What does a conveyancing solicitor do?

A conveyancing solicitor will take care of all the legal aspects of buying or selling a property for you. Having helped thousands of clients move home, the solicitors at Paul Crowley & Co’s conveyancing department will keep you regularly updated, providing a stress free service throughout and will answer any questions that you might have.

A conveyancing solicitor will undertake the following when buying or selling a property:

• Provide specialist legal advice
• Handle all legal contracts
• Carry out local council searches
• Deal with the land registry
• Transfer of funds for the purchase or sale of your property

If you are obtaining a mortgage, a conveyancing solicitor will act on behalf of both the buyer and the lender.
