This area covers work around buying, selling and renting residential property in England. A solicitor handles the end‑to‑end conveyancing process: drafting or reviewing contracts, conducting property searches, obtaining and reviewing title information, exchanging contracts, arranging completion, and registering the transfer with HM Land Registry. They also deal with remortgages, lease extensions, tenancy agreements and disputes with landlords or buyers. The work is shaped by property rules, deadlines for contracts and registration, and the specific terms of the sale or lease.
Where a solicitor protects your position
Delays, funding problems, or gaps in title or searches can affect completion and risk deposits or mortgages. A solicitor ensures the transfer of ownership or tenancy is properly completed, registers the title, and coordinates mortgage documents and stamp duty land tax (or SDLT equivalents). They also advise on contract terms and any potential liability arising from leases or planning conditions.
