Frequently Asked Questions

Why Do I Need Legal Assistance For Conveyancing?

DIY conveyancing is possible but it is a complicated and time-consuming business with very large sums of money at risk if you make a mistake. At a competitive price, our experienced and knowledgeable conveyancing solicitors can help you avoid this risk and speed up your transaction too.

Having our specialist conveyancing lawyers on your side offers real peace of mind during the already stressful process of buying or selling a property. Our experts have years of experience with a wide variety of property transactions so they can anticipate difficulties and know exactly how to resolve any issues that arise.

Your lawyer will always act in your best interests throughout the process. We will handle all the contractual arrangements, the investigation of the title of the property, document preparation, exchange of contracts, financial information, the mortgage lenders' legal work, payment of stamp duty, and registration at the Land Registry so you don't have to.

What Is Leasehold Enfranchisement?

If you own a leasehold property, you may have the right to extend your lease or even buy the freehold of the property from your landlord. This is known as Leasehold Enfranchisement.

You only own a leasehold property for a fixed period of time. A landlord has permanent ownership of the property, or 'freehold'. A lease is a legal agreement between you and the landlord that states how long your leasehold ownership will last.

If you want to continue owning a leasehold property beyond the end of your current lease, you can either ask your landlord to extend the lease or sell you the freehold for your property so you own it permanently yourself. If you live in a flat you will need to buy a share of the freehold for the whole building. You must meet certain criteria in order to qualify for this.

Read more on our Leasehold Enfranchisement page.

What Is Probate?

Probate is the legal process for managing a deceased person's estate. This includes specific requirements for selling or transferring ownership of the deceased's property, such as:

Selling a property requires evidence of your right to sell with a Grant of Probate
Sales also require additional clauses in the transfer contract to protect the personal representative or executor of the Will
Transferring a property requires a Deed of Assent, which is slightly different to the usual Transfer Deed used for property sales and transfers

Our conveyancing lawyers have extensive knowledge and expertise in dealing with probate sales and transfers. We can help you manage the process quickly and sensitively to minimise any stress during a difficult time. Our Wills, Estates & Probate Solicitors can also help with any other aspect of managing the estate.

See our Probate Sale Conveyancing page for more information.
