What is Conveyancing and Why You Need Conveyancing Solicitors

When you’re buying or selling a property, there is a lot of paperwork to sort out. One thing that you might hear a lot about is conveyancing.

But what is conveyancing, and how can conveyancing lawyers help you when it comes to buying or selling property in Kent?

Conveyancing - What it is

Conveyancing is a legal term, which is why it involves lawyers. It usually refers to the transfer of a property from one person to another, so the legal title of the property now belongs to someone else. If you’re buying or selling a property, then it will involve this transfer.

However, conveyancing can also refer to the granting of an encumbrance, which is typically a mortgage. So, when you get a mortgage out on your property, then that is also a conveyancing transaction.

How Conveyancing Lawyers Can Help With Property Sales

Getting onto the property market as a homeowner is an excellent goal to have. When you own property, you are essentially making your first step onto the real estate market and gaining a valuable asset in the process. True, houses aren’t exactly cheap, but many people find that their mortgage payments are less than it would cost to rent, and owning the property gives them much more freedom.

However, dealing in real estate and property isn’t easy. This is especially true if you’re new to the process. This means that you will need the help of someone who knows exactly what they're doing. This is where conveyancing solicitors can get involved.

Your solicitor can help you to make the best decision for your circumstances. They can talk you through the paperwork involved in making the purchase and explain any legal terms. This means that you’re less likely to make any mistakes and you can buy or sell the property without worrying too much.

Nobody wants to get into legal trouble, especially when it comes to property. Conveyancing solicitors can also help you to get a mortgage, which is a necessary step for most people to buy a property. They will help you to make sure that everything is above board and much easier to deal with.
