Conveyancing

we understand that a conveyancing transaction can prove to be one of the, if not the most important and potentially, largest financial transaction in one’s lifetime.

Conveyancing refers to all the legal and administrative work associated with transferring the ownership of land or buildings from one person to another.

The conveyancing process begins after you have had an offer accepted on a property. It ends once the final contracts have been signed and the money has been transferred to complete the purchase.

You wouldn’t compromise on the type of property when buying, or compromise on price when selling, because what you want is the best. Question is why compromise on your solicitor who will be responsible for turning your dreams and expectations into a legal reality.

Here at Law Lane, we understand that a conveyancing transaction can prove to be one of the, if not the most important and potentially, largest financial transaction in one’s lifetime.

Experienced and dynamic conveyancing team

As daunting as a sale or purchase may seem, especially if you are involved first time, Law Lane will keep it simple and endeavour to make your journey a seamless one by applying care and concern throughout the entire process.

The conveyancing department is one of the largest in our office, boasting multilinguistic staff who can speak English, Hungarian, Urdu and many more! They are always on hand to help explain every detail in your preferred language, so you can easily understand the whole process.

The conveyancing process can feel emotionally exhaustive and mentally taxing due to the time and money involved as well as the uncertainty surrounding the entire process. From experience, we know the two most important factors from a client’s perspective are:

Accredited Family Law

Law Lane Solicitors is proud to be accredited under The Law Society’s Conveyancing Quality Scheme (CQS) Accreditation.

  • Working within time
  • Keeping the client informed at all stages

Our conveyancing team is here to erase all the potential stress to our clients by implementing years of experience and acumen. The objective is to provide complete peace of mind upon any conveyancing matter we take on.

From instruction stage to completion, the Law Lane ethos is to rigorously apply its measures of due diligence to ensure a smooth process and transparent outcome.

The standard conveyancing process can seem complicated, but our team of professionals will always go that extra step to ensure your experience with us is, one of a kind.

Our experienced and dynamic conveyancing team cover many conveyancing areas such as:

  • Commercial & Residential
  • Sale (leasehold, freehold, share of freehold)
  • Purchase (leasehold, freehold, share of freehold)
  • Re-mortgage
  • Transfer of Equity
  • Deed of Trust
  • Help to buy
  • Redemptions
  • Leasehold extensions

Other than the regular work stated above, we also deal with many other conveyancing related matters which include:

  • Gifted Deposit
  • Mutual Deed of Covenant for Flying Freehold
  • Lock Out Agreement
  • Deed of Postponement
  • Deed of Easement
  • Contract Race
  • Wills & Probate
Residential Conveyancing

In all residential property transactions, including sale and purchase, re-mortgages, transfers by gift, and residential lettings, our experienced and committed team of residential property solicitors can offer an impartial, prompt, efficient, and dependable service.

We can provide joint ownership advice and can prepare Trust Deeds in accordance with your recommendations. We recognise that moving houses is regarded as a stressful event, but we work to minimise that burden wherever we can. We always make sure there is clear communication between our clients, the attorneys representing other parties involved in the transaction, and the estate agents.

Buying a Home

Before you order us to begin any work, we first assist in determining if the chain of transactions is complete, inform you of how far the chain extends, and ensure that all parties appear to be prepared to move on. This makes sure that you will not incur any additional costs.

A contract detailing the seller’s ownership of the property and any other pertinent paperwork for the property you are buying will be sent to us by the seller’s solicitor. We review the contract to make sure it follows your directions and doesn’t have any unfavourable clauses. We examine the title records to make sure the seller is authorised to sell the property, forward any questions to the seller’s attorney, and conduct any necessary searches. We will inform you of the paperwork we have received and go over any potential problems with you.

The contract can be approved as soon as we have suitable answers to our questions and inquiries. At this point, you must make sure you have secured all required mortgages. The parties engaged in the chain can then formally exchange contracts to ensure that they are all committed to completing their transactions by the specified date.

After exchange, we conduct any necessary follow-up research and provide any necessary paperwork for your signature. We ask for the mortgage funds and inform you of any remaining amounts needed to complete the transaction. Using our own secure electronic payment terminal, we send the purchase money to the seller’s solicitor’s bank on the completion date. After everything is finished, we take care of any Stamp Duty or Land Tax obligations, register your ownership (and any mortgage) at the Land Registry, and then transmit the deeds to your lender, who keeps them for the life of the mortgage.

Selling a Home

Once a buyer has been identified, we write a contract that we send to the buyer’s solicitor, handle any follow-up questions, and, if necessary, get your specific instructions.

We set up the contract exchange and take care of any requests made by the buyer’s solicitors. We authorise the transfer document, make plans to pay off any current mortgage you have, and give you an accounting of any outstanding amounts.

For any enquiries, please don’t hesitate to contact us and one of our expert solicitors can help you!

Commercial Conveyancing

Regardless of the complexity or time restrictions that may be present, the department provides a versatile team of property solicitors with a thorough understanding of the requirements of commercial property customers. We also have the capacity to handle significant volumes of commercial work. All facets of commercial property law are areas of competence for us. We can help with options, joint ventures, factory, office, and shop projects, licensing agreements, and general commercial property work in addition to representing developers and builders of all kinds on home complexes of different sizes.

We have a team devoted to handling disputes, from minor claims to significant business disputes, with a focus on construction and related issues.

We also handle a variety of landlord and tenant cases involving both commercial and residential tenancies.

We deal with licences, tenancy contracts, and commercial leases, and we can offer advice on how to handle landlord-tenant issues. That’s a quick rundown of the services we can provide for you. We are happy to go into greater depth about any of the services if you are interested in learning more.
