What is Conveyancing?

Conveyancing refers to the transfer of property ownership, encompassing both buying and selling a home. This process can be complex and stressful, but our team aims to simplify it for you. Professional conveyancing solicitors can help you avoid costly mistakes and long-term issues.

The conveyancing process typically lasts six to eight weeks, varying based on whether you are the buyer or seller. Buyers often face a longer process due to factors like arranging mortgages and property surveys.
