The first question you’ll be asked when you put in an offer on a property is the name and contact details of your solicitor or licensed conveyancer.
Conveyancing is the legal term for transferring ownership of property, whether you are buying or selling.
A solicitor or conveyancer will:
- Handle contracts
- Give legal advice
- Carry out local council searches
- Deal with the Land Registry, and
- Transfer the funds to pay for your property.
