So, What is Conveyancing?

In simple terms, the definition of conveyancing is the process of transferring the ownership of a property title from seller to buyer. Conveyancing is the term for all legal and administrative work involved in the selling process.

Whether you’re buying or selling a property, PLS Solicitors ensures you can proceed with confidence. We assist you in meeting all legal standards and prevent issues from arising both before and after the sale.

With our extensive experience in UK property law, we facilitate the exchange of almost all property types: freehold and leasehold properties, new builds, and shared ownership homes.

Looking to sell a commercial property? No problem! We have you covered there, too.

How Do I Start The Conveyancing Process?

The process of buying and selling a house can be as varied as the properties themselves. That’s why PLS Solicitors works closely with all parties involved to make sure we cover everything that you need to know. Here’s an overview of how to get started with managing your property sale or purchase:

1.           Tell PLS Solicitors About Your Property – Buyers and sellers will each work with a conveyancing solicitor. Conveyancers like PLS Solicitors handle hundreds of transactions like yours every year across the UK. We take care of the legal documentation, property checks, local authority searches, and more. We represent your interests to all parties involved, including estate agents and mortgage lenders. To book a call with one of our specialists, you can call us on 03300 565 423 or complete an enquiry form here.

2.           Conduct Property Searches And Enquiries – PLS Solicitors will conduct essential searches to uncover any potential issues with the property or land. These include local authority checks, environmental searches, and drainage or water checks. With our support, you can be confident that all relevant information is communicated to all parties before contracts are signed.

3.           Reviewing And Exchanging Contracts – We prepare a draft contract for the sale and review it with all involved parties. If the buyer requires a mortgage, PLS liaises with the lender to ensure that the terms meet all mortgage conditions. During this stage, we address any remaining enquiries and negotiate contract terms, such as the completion date and items included in the sale.

4.           Completion – Once both parties agree, contracts are “exchanged,” making the transaction legally binding. At completion, the buyer’s conveyancer transfers funds to the seller’s conveyancer, finalising the transaction.

Leading The Way In Affordable Conveyancing For The UK

Navigating the sale and purchase of property can be complex, involving laws such as the Law of Property Act 1925 and the Land Registration Act 2002. Observing these legal frameworks not only ensures compliance but also protects your interests. Stamp Duty, property taxes, mortgage processing, and land registration can all add to the time and energy required.

At PLS Solicitors, we’ve handled property sales for clients for over a decade. Our services keep you in control: you can track the status of your transaction 24/7 with our online portal, and our UK-based office team operates six days a week, ready to respond to your calls and enquiries. We work to keep your time free, so you can focus on what matters most.
