Solicitors Residential property

  • 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.

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.

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.
