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.

We have been in the process of buying our first home with no chain at either end since the end of June. It is a "second hand" new build property built in 2018 and comes with an estate rent charge which we were told would be around £140 a year which we thought was fine. After waiting since August, where are solicitors had 20 enquiries to satisfy, we are now on the last one. Apparently the clause on the rent charge is not worded correctly and our lenders are not happy with it. Our solicitors have been requesting for the wording to be changed, or a deed of variation, both of which have been refused by the sellers solicitors. They have now drafted up an indemnity policy which was only done today and sent to our lenders to see if they are satisfied with this. Now our best case scenario is that this satisfied this final enquiry and we can proceed with the purchase, but what happens if our lenders insist on a deed of variation? Where does that leave us? Our solicitor just says it will be a lengthly process to get one and we are already 5 months into this with our mortgage offer due to expire at the end of December. Should this of been something our solicitors brought up sooner? if this all falls through where does this leave us as we feel none of this is our fault and we have only been informed of this situation today.
