Solicitors Residential property

Residential property transactions in the UK typically involve buying or selling a home—whether a house, flat, or shared ownership property. The process, known as conveyancing, includes title checks, contract drafting, and liaising with lenders. A conveyancing solicitor or licensed conveyancer can guide you through each stage, ensuring you understand your rights, obligations, and any potential risks before completing the deal.

What does buying or selling a residential property involve?

Initial offer and acceptance: Agreeing on a purchase price with the seller (or estate agent) and confirming your mortgage in principle, if needed.
Title investigations: Checking ownership details, covenants, or other restrictions that might affect your use or enjoyment of the property.
Property searches: Requesting local authority, environmental, and water/drainage searches to identify potential issues such as flood risks or planning constraints.
Exchanging contracts: Making the transaction legally binding by signing contracts and paying a deposit (usually 10% of the purchase price).
Completion: Transferring the remaining funds, receiving keys, and registering the property in your name at HM Land Registry.

How can a solicitor help with residential property transactions, and what does it cost?

A residential conveyancing solicitor can:

Provide legal advice: Clarifying any unusual clauses in the contract, lease terms (if leasehold), or property covenants.
Coordinate with third parties: Communicating with estate agents, mortgage lenders, and the other side’s solicitor to keep your move on track.
Handle the finances: Managing deposits, mortgage funds, and Land Registry fees while ensuring a secure money transfer process.
Offer aftercare: Advising on any post-completion issues, such as boundary disputes or covenant breaches discovered later.

Costs vary based on property value, location, and the complexity of your situation. Many solicitors offer fixed-fee packages for residential conveyancing, often ranging from £750 to £1,500 (plus VAT and disbursements like searches). An initial consultation—often at a reduced cost or free—can help estimate fees, timeframes, and any potential hurdles before you commit to the purchase or sale.
