Conveyancing

A conveyance is a deed (legal document) that conveys a house from the vendor to the buyer, thereby transferring ownership. Conveyancing is thus the legal term for the process by which ownership of property is transferred from one person to another.

Property conveyancing is usually done by a solicitor or licensed conveyancer, and in this section, we offer you some helpful tips on how to find and choose the right one for you.

We'll also examine the work carried out by conveyancers in more detail - the searches, the exchange of contracts and the completion of the sale. We also examine the different types of ownership, as this will affect how your conveyancing is carried out.
