    Option agreements and conditional contracts cover creating a potential or contingent path to purchase or dispose of a property. In plain terms, they set out the rights to buy (an option) or to complete only if certain conditions are met, such as planning permission or mortgage funding. A solicitor drafts and negotiates the option or conditional contract, checks title and searches, coordinates with lenders and authorities, and explains the consequences if conditions fail or the option is exercised. They also handle deposits, notices, and the timing of exercise or completion.

    “It was a great pleasure using Ella for the sale of my property and purchase of my new property. Her communication was excellent , I’d quite often sit down on an evening doing the required paper work and asking questions (expecting a reply the next day) but would often get a reply promptly. She has amazing knowledge in all aspects of conveyancing and was able to advise with any questions that I had. I felt very confident using Ella through the whole process, I would highly recommend Ella to anyone who’s looking to buy or sell a property. Everything went very smoothly, Ella made the whole process seem very simple due to her experience and ability to deal with any problems immediately without the need for complications . Thank you for all your work”

    “Elite Law were very efficient in the conveyancing of this flat purchase, pity the same could not be said of the seller's solicitors! However, we got there in the end and Elite kept us well informed and were willing to discuss matters by phone when needed. Would recommend them without hesitation.”
