Our conveyancing solicitors understand that buying and selling your home can be very stressful. We have a team of experienced conveyancing solicitors handling house and flat sales throughout Wiltshire, Hampshire and Dorset – and further afield. We provide expert and independent legal advice to ensure you know exactly what you are buying in the conveyancing process.
Our property solicitors can help you with:

Conveyancing needs regular contact between client, solicitor and estate agent to minimise delay and ease your move. You need to be confident you can get hold of your solicitor.

Buying a Property
Once you find your dream home and have your offer accepted, instruct your conveyancing solicitor immediately. If you need a mortgage to buy the property make getting that mortgage your priority – or risk delay later. Once instructed, your solicitor will obtain the estate agent’s Memorandum of Sale giving details of the sale and a Seller’s Package (including the draft contract, details of title and property information). Your conveyancing solicitor then makes a local search – dealing with issues including planning permission and whether your property is in a conservation area etc.
Selling a Property
First find your buyer. Don't forget if you use an estate agent to consider how commission will be paid. Our conveyancing solicitors can advise whether sole agency, multiple agency or joint sole agency is right for you.
Remortgaging
Timing is often very important when you remortgage. You need the work to be done as swiftly as possible. Our conveyancing solicitors can act for both you and your lender to avoid doubling up work as well as dealing with discharging your existing mortgage. We can carry out the necessary enquiries and searches on your home even before you get your new mortgage offer. Be aware that the enquiries necessary on a remortgage are as extensive as those on buying a property in the first place - and your new lender may require an up to date valuation of your home – instructing surveyors approved by your new lenders is usually the most practical way to get a remortgage property valuation.
Transfers of Equity
When partnerships or marriages end, often one owner buys the other's share. The value of this share ( known as equity ) is the difference between the outstanding mortgage and your home's current value. It is essential that the property transfer is recognised in law to ensure the owner selling their share is released from any commitment and mortgage on the property.
