    Post-completion formalities cover the steps that follow a property transfer or lease grant in England. A solicitor ensures registration of the title and any charges at HM Land Registry, and handles related filings and notifications, including Stamp Duty Land Tax (SDLT) where applicable. They coordinate with the client’s lenders, ensure discharge of any existing encumbrances, and prepare or review the final deeds and documents to ensure the transaction is legally complete and enforceable.

    “We bought our first Auction property in April 2024 and felt very unsure of the process and whether we were doing the right thing. We asked Claire to help us, after one of her colleagues Adam, who is our construction lawyer, along with Jan, at Hay & Kilner, recommended her. She was amazing, and her, and her lovely team reassured us and helped us through this process. Timelines were met, and we were kept informed and felt comfortable to call and talk things through when needed. We were so pleased with the service and the outcome that we bought a second property in June 2024, which has just completed, and once again managed swiftly and courteously by Helen and her team. We have no hesitation recommending to anyone ”
