Land Transactions and Residential Conveyancing
Land Transactions and Residential Conveyancing
Selling or buying your home can often be fairly stressful in what is probably the most expensive and important transaction that you will ever make. We can:-
- Give you an estimate of costs and expenses involved
- Carry out all appropriate searches and enquiries and advise on the most appropriate survey
- Tell you about any apparent restrictions on the use of the property and any covenants or other obligations affecting the property whether freehold or leasehold
- Advise you about shared ownership
- Deal with any mortgage or other loan arrangement documentation involved
- Make sure your title to the property is complete and marketable (or mortgageable) and deal with any stamp duty and land registration requirements
- Prepare transfers of land including deeds of gift
