Conveyancing solicitors are essential for a seamless and legally valid transfer of property ownership. They use their knowledge and expertise to manage all the legal complexities of property transactions. By protecting the interests of both buyers and sellers, they ensure that the entire process adheres to legal requirements and ends successfully. 

Stage 1

A seller accepts an offer from a buyer on a ‘subject to contract’ basis. Such agreements are not legally binding; either party can withdraw without penalty until the point at which contracts are exchanged. 

Stage 2

Once an offer is accepted, both parties will instruct a conveyancer and begin the conveyancing process. 

Stage 3

At this stage, the onus is on the buyer to find out if there are any legal issues or physical defects highlighted by your surveyor relating to the property. here, the legal principle caveat emptor (buyer beware) applies. 

Stage 4

The penultimate stage is exchange of contracts. Once contracts have been exchanged, neither party can withdraw from the agreement without penalty. 

Stage 5

The final stage of the process is completion. At this point, the financial transaction is completed and ownership of the property changes hands. 

Due to the new Building Safety Act 2022, we will no longer be acting on any matter which involves a property of over five storeys or 11 metres in height.

We will review this once further guidance is issued.
