Our conveyancing services
Residential sales and purchases
Whether you are buying your first home, developing a portfolio, or selling a property, our team will guide you through each step of the process. We oversee the drafting and approval of contracts, arrange property searches, investigate the property title, and ensure that your transaction goes as smoothly as possible. With our expertise, you can complete your sale or purchase with confidence.
Remortgages
If you are switching lenders to secure a better mortgage deal or release equity from your property, a solicitor is required to manage all of the legal aspects. We will liaise with your lender, take steps to satisfy your lender’s requirements and mortgage conditions, check the title deeds, and register the new mortgage with the Land Registry.
Deeds of gift
A deed of gift allows you to transfer the ownership of a property to another individual. This is often used when gifting property to a family member or close loved one. Our residential conveyancing solicitors can either prepare or approve the necessary documentation and ensure that the transfer is legally binding and properly recorded.
First registrations
It is advisable that your property is registered with the Land Registry. Without doing so, you are vulnerable to theft, loss, or misplacement of the paper title deeds and documents. We can complete the first registration on your behalf, including checking title deeds and submitting an application to the Land Registry. Taking this step can help simplify any future transactions.
Matrimonial transfers
When property needs to be transferred between spouses following separation, divorce, or as part of a financial settlement, our solicitors can help handle this transaction efficiently, minimising stress during an already emotionally difficult time. We can prepare or approve the transfer deed as necessary, liaise with mortgage lenders if needed, and ensure that all documents are properly registered.
Freehold reversions
If you own a leasehold house and wish to purchase the freehold title to the property, we can assist with your purchase of the freehold interest from the freeholder. We can approve the sale and transfer documentation, review the freehold title documents and deal with the registration at the Land Registry once completion has taken place.
Lease extension solicitors services
If your lease is coming to an end, extending it can allow you to protect the value of your property, as well as make it easier to sell or remortgage. Our property solicitors can review and approve the new lease and ensure that all documentation is up to date and correctly completed. We will look to try and keep the process as straightforward as possible with a view to securing the best possible outcome for you.
Frequently asked questions about conveyancing
Residential conveyancing is the legal process by which ownership of a home is transferred from one party to another. It covers the steps involved when buying or selling a property, including drafting and approval of contracts, reviewing the property title documentation and registering ownership with the Land Registry. Your residential property solicitor will take steps to ensure that the transaction runs as smoothly as possible.
Working with a specialist property solicitor gives you the confidence to know that any issues with the property or transfer are identified as early as possible and managed professionally. Generally, a conveyancing solicitor will handle all of the legal aspects of buying or selling property, including:
- Conducting property searches
- Checking the title deeds
- Drafting and reviewing contracts
- Registering ownership with the Land Registry, and;
- Taking steps to satisfy mortgage lenders’ requirements and arranging the release of mortgage funds
The conveyancing process typically takes between 10-12 weeks from receipt and issuing of contracts, but this can vary depending on the complexity of the transaction, the length of the property chain, or mortgage approval delays. JNP Legal’s dedicated property team can provide expert conveyancing advice, including a realistic timeline based on your circumstances.
You are advised to instruct a solicitor for buying a house as soon as you are ready to make or accept an offer. Having a residential conveyancing solicitor on hand from the start can help prevent unnecessary delays and allow the process to begin sooner.
The cost involved in the conveyancing process will come down to a variety of factors, including solicitor’s fees, disbursements from any third-party costs such as searches, and potentially Land Transaction Tax (LTT) and Stamp Duty Land Tax (SDLT).
Our conveyancing solicitors in South Wales understand that every property transaction is unique. We provide more detailed pricing information on our residential property fees page and you can request an instant property transaction quote with our conveyancing quote calculator.
