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.

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.

I would greatly appreciate some advice regarding how to manage my property.
The property is a new build leasehold flat in Sale M33 7JW recently valued at £185-190K and was bought 2 years ago using a 20% loan from the Help to Buy scheme.
At the moment the mortgage is under joint ownership with myself and my ex-wife. I am in the process of remortgaging it into my name only and this has been approved by my lender. I am now looking for solicitors to manage the process.
I have been offered a job overseas from August and would like to know what my options are re this property.
Would I be able to rent it out using an agency to manage the property?
If this is not an option, do you know how I can be in a position to have someone else in this property by August?

Subject to any restrictions in the lease and mortgage conditions governing letting the property out, you could do so. Alternatively, you could market it for sale - entirely up to you. It sounds like you will want to complete a transfer of the property into your sole name and remortgage it first, and you would need a conveyancer for that.
