Conveyancing is the term for transferring ownership of property from one person to another.
This can be much more complex than other types of transactions as your lawyer will have to carry out a number of checks in relation to the property and the land it is on.
For example, does anyone have right of access or rights of way through the land?
Does the owner of the property have existing obligations to adhere to, such as a lease or chancel repair liabilities?
What restrictions does the lease place on the property owner?

Here is a list of some of the most common disbursements which may come up during the Conveyancing process, along with a brief description of what they are.
If you require any more information on these or something which is not listed here please contact us.
This is a government tax levied when a property is sold and is payable by the buyer.
The amount payable is tiered according to the property value and homes under a certain value are exempt.
When you buy a property or land, take out a new mortgage or other borrowing secured on property, or transfer a share in a property the transaction must be registered with the Land Registry.

At Norrie Waite & Slater solicitors we want to ensure that you understand the Conveyancing process and will be happy to answer any questions you may have.
Here is some additional advice on buying a property which may be useful for first time buyers.
Before you start looking for a property it is advisable to speak to a bank or other lender about your mortgage.
There is no point getting your heart set on a house if you are unable to borrow the required money.
The ideal approach is to talk to a lender to get what is called a "decision in principle".
