Conveyancing is the legal process of transferring property ownership from one person to another. It begins when your offer is accepted and ends when you receive the keys to your new home.
Your conveyancer or solicitor will handle all the legal aspects of your property purchase. Here's what to consider when choosing one:
Your conveyancer will conduct various searches to uncover any issues that might affect the property:
Reveals planning permissions, building control history, and nearby developments.
Checks for contaminated land, flooding risks, and other environmental factors.
Confirms water supply and drainage connections, and any public sewers affecting the property.
