Buying a house

If you are looking to buy a house or flat, our property lawyers are here to guide you through each step of the process and keep you fully informed, whether you are a first time buyer or an experienced property investor.

Buying a home is an exciting prospect. Without professional guidance it can also be an overwhelming and emotional time for anyone to go through. We explain the legal process as “conveyancing” and further details can be found on the Legal Choices website or by viewing our handy flowchart for 'Buying & Selling House: the process'. Our full booklet explaining the process, is sent out to all our clients before starting work.

Our property solicitors take meticulous care to listen to your requirements and questions, ensuring that the legal title to the property you wish to buy is investigated and is sound. We report fully to you and ensure that you are happy, answering your queries and advising you in respect of any concerns you may have before you sign the contract and become legally bound to proceed with the transaction. We also deal with your lenders requirements if you are obtaining a mortgage. 

We also understand that timing and timescales are crucial, especially if you are tying in your sale and purchase together and where there is a chain of parties involved. We always work closely with the seller’s conveyancing solicitors to ensure that an effective line of communication is maintained throughout the process. We also liaise with the estate agents and, if you are buying with a mortgage, your lender and any mortgage broker.
