Compare conveyancing pricesWhat is residential conveyancing?
Conveyancing is the legal process of transferring ownership of a property from one party to another. Whether you're buying, selling, or remortgaging, a conveyancer (a specialist solicitor or licensed conveyancer) handles the searches, contracts, Land Registry filings, and transfer of funds on your behalf.
For a typical purchase, your conveyancer will run local-authority, drainage, environmental, and bankruptcy searches; review the contract pack from the seller's solicitor; raise enquiries; coordinate with your mortgage lender; and lodge the registration with HM Land Registry.
