What is Residential Conveyancing?
When you are buying or selling a house, you need to get involved in a process known as residential conveyancing. But what does the term 'residential conveyancing' mean? And who can help you understand and get through this process? After all, at such a stressful time as moving home, you've got enough to think about already.
Residential conveyancing is the legal process by which a house or a flat is transferred from the seller to the buyer. Obviously, it is extremely important that this process is carried out correctly. Although it is possible to undertake the conveyancing process yourself, there is a lot of room for error, and mistakes made through ignorance or inexperience can be costly.
For this reason, it is best to engage the services of a solicitor to take care of the residential conveyancing process. Although this adds to the cost of buying or selling property, the reduced risk of a mistake being made during this complex process could save untold amounts.
