We are a dedicated and experienced team of qualified lawyers who can support you with the major legal matters you and your family may face.
At FMT, our residential conveyancing specialists offer comprehensive assistance with the purchase, sale and transfer of residential properties. Our first-hand knowledge of local properties allows us to provide a fully bespoke and flexible service, ensuring your transaction is completed thoroughly and efficiently.
Whether you are looking to purchase, sell or transfer your home, invest in a buy to let property, remortgage or sell or purchase a Grade II listed building, we know that each scenario presents a unique set of challenges which require our support.
Our residential conveyancing support can help you in all of the following aspects:
Are you selling your property or have found your new home?
We can help with the whole conveyancing process and take care of all legal aspects of buying and selling, making it a straightforward and stress-free experience.
Are you remortgaging your home?
We can assist you with this process acting for you and your mortgage lender, reporting to you on your mortgage offer, obtaining your mortgage funds and registering your mortgage with the Land Registry.
Whether you’re transferring your property to your children, your relationship has broken down or a loved one has passed away, we can help you with the whole process including registering the property with the Land Registry.
This is a major event in your life and we know it can be stressful so we make sure that with us you will be treated as an individual. You will not have to deal with a Call Centre where all they know about you is what they read on their computer screens, and you never speak to the some person twice. With us, you will get to know the people dealing with your case and they will get to know you.
You may worry about how the process works; how the money is arranged; how everything is timed. You can leave it to us. Let us know as soon as you decide to sell or buy. We will take it from there. We will keep you fully informed and consulted throughout.
Remember you are entitled to the standard of service provided by us as independent solicitors. You do not have to be pushed into dealing with remote “property lawyers” suggested by agents who may be getting a referral fee. With hidden costs they can actually cost you more for an inferior service.
Residential conveyancing refers to the formalities of purchasing or selling a home or buy-to-let property. This legal process transfers the contractual title of a property from the previous owner to the new one.
The entire conveyancing process whether residential or commercial, must be completed by a specialist property solicitor or a conveyancer.
You can expect to pay in the region of between £800-£2,000 for conveyancing. Leasehold properties, however, do take longer and are often more complex, therefore this is reflected in the higher costs.
The residential conveyancing process starts from the moment you make an offer on a property, or accept an offer for your home – until such a time when you receive or exchange the keys to the property.
Typically, conveyancing can take anywhere between 12 to 16 weeks, although this can vary depending on the complexity of the case and any delays along the way.
