Need help with a remortgage or transfer of equity / deed of gift? Our guides will walk you through the process and highlight some of the common pitfalls. Mortgages and transfers can be very simple procedures but complex issues can sometimes arise and mistakes are easily made. These guides will help you deal with them.
So you want to have a go at your own conveyancing? First you should read about the risks, then if you're still happy to proceed, our guides will take you through each stage of the process telling you what to look out for and helping you avoid falling into expensive traps. Our subscription service will give you access to all of the documents you should need for your conveyancing and we can even supply you with the Land Registry Official Copies you'll need. Our general guides will cover all the obstacles you are likely to face and offer a practical solution. Have a look at our sale and purchase guides too.
A big part of the conveyancing process is the conveyancing searches. This section tells you all about them. What they are, how and when to order them and how to interpret the results. Each search has its own guide and you'll see they are separated into Standard (should be done in every case), Regional (area specific) and Optional (not essential but often useful tools for the would be purchaser). All buyers should beware that when you buy a property, the law assumes that you have seen the information that would have been revealed by searches whether or not you have actually carried them out, so you buy the property subject to the results.
Using a conveyancer to handle your conveyancing will greatly reduce the risk to you and sometimes, particularly if you are taking out a new mortgage, you will have no choice but to instruct a conveyancer. The good news is it doesn't have to break the bank. Get a free, instant quote here. We can also help with quick easy quotes for other moving related services.

My landlord (housing association) has listed fees of over £2000 for me to sell my flat. Please can you tell me if they are all necessary and if they can charge that much?
- If Network Homes is the managing agent, please note that our Sales Management Packs, Solicitors
Enquires etc = £200.00 excl. VAT. This charge may not be applicable if there is a managing agent as
their fees may differ.
- Notice of Transfer & Charge = £80.00 incl. VAT
- Notice of Transfer = £40.00 incl. VAT
- Notice of Mortgage =£40.00 incl. VAT
- Certificate of Compliance £40.00 incl. VAT – This will be provided once the Notice is executed. Please
provide details of the relevant sections of the title and lease.
- Deed of Covenant = £100 excl. VAT – Please provide the deed for execution
- Deed of Postponement = £40.00 incl. VAT
- Licence to Assign =£200 excl. VAT
- Network Deed of Variation = £750 excl. VAT. If solicitor drafts £500 excl. VAT
- Licence to Alter = £300 excl. VAT
- Copy of Lease = £30 incl. VAT
That all seems very reasonable. It sounds like it's not just a straightforward transfer but you're also asking for a deed of variation to the lease, licence for alterations and additional items beyond the sale pack and notice of assignment.
Bear in mind the buyer usually pays for the notices and you can obtain a copy of the lease at HM Land Registry for £3 if they have it, or from the solicitor who acted on your purchase.

thanks for that. It is a straight forward sale and i haven't asked for a deed of variation to the lease or any of the additional items.
