Conveyancing is the process of legally transferring the ownership of property or land. This process is quite complicated. Thus it often requires numerous checks to avoid errors or complications. At Phoenix Lawyers, we understand the challenges that come with this.  Our experienced team can handle the legalities meticulously to protect your interests.

1 Residential Conveyancing

a. Purchasing a Residential Property
Buying a home is one of life’s significant steps.  Our endeavor is to make life simpler for you in this respect. We would take care of all the facets related to law and keep things transparent. This way you can focus on the exciting journey ahead. Here is what you can expect when you choose us:

• Firstly, we will consult with you regarding the property purchase, including your requirements and budget.
• We will confirm your identity and carry out anti-money laundering checks.
• Necessary searches are conducted, including Local Authority, environmental, water and drainage, and title searches.
• The seller’s contract is examined and any issues are cleared.
• We review the results of the searches and raise any inquiries if necessary.
• You will receive a complete report on the property, including the contract, search results, and any issues identified.
• Eventually, we arrange the exchange of contracts when it is deemed fit.

b. Selling a Residential Property

Selling your home involves several legal steps. These legalities have to be handled well to ensure a smooth transaction. To facilitate this, we have established a stepwise procedure as follows:

• We’ll take your instructions, verify your identity, and conduct anti-money laundering checks.
• We complete the necessary forms, such as the Law Society Property Information Form (TA6), and Law Society Fittings and Contents Form (TA10).
• For leasehold properties, we gather the required leasehold information and liaise with managing agents.
• We draft the contract and address any questions raised by the buyer’s solicitors.
• After negotiations, we ensure that the contract terms are fair and acceptable.
• Once both parties agree, contracts are exchanged, and the sale becomes legally binding.
• On the completion date, we manage the transfer of funds, handle any mortgage redemptions, and ensure the keys are handed over to the buyer.

Remortgaging can be challenging. There are a lot of legalities to the whole process. Phoenix Lawyers provides seamless support for switching lenders or securing better rates. This way you will feel confident every step of the way.

In addition, we liaise directly with lenders and other parties to finalize the transaction smoothly. Our ultimate aim is to ensure that you feel supported every step of the way through our commitment to clear communication and attention to detail.
