Understanding the intricacies of conveyancing can be daunting for many.

This week’s insights will focus on essential elements of conveyancing that every buyer and seller should be aware of, ensuring a seamless and transparent process.
What is Conveyancing?
Conveyancing is the legal process of transferring property ownership from one party to another. This process involves several stages, from the initial offer to the final transfer of ownership. At Somnium Legal, we ensure that every step is handled with the utmost care and professionalism, safeguarding our clients’ interests.
Key Stages in the Conveyancing Process
Instruction of a Conveyancer
- The first step is to instruct a qualified conveyancer or solicitor to handle the transaction.
- At Somnium Legal, we provide expert guidance from the outset, ensuring that all legal requirements are met.
Property Searches
- Conducting searches is crucial to uncover any potential issues with the property.
- These searches include local authority searches, environmental searches, and checking for any planned developments that might affect the property.
Review and Preparation of Contracts
- Drafting and reviewing the sale contract is a critical stage.
- Our team ensures that the contract accurately reflects the terms agreed upon and protects our clients’ interests.
Mortgage Arrangements
- For buyers requiring a mortgage, securing financing is essential.
- We liaise with mortgage lenders to facilitate a smooth and timely approval process.
Exchange of Contracts
- Once all parties are satisfied, the contracts are exchanged.
- At this point, the transaction becomes legally binding, and the buyer typically pays a deposit.
Completion
- On completion day, the remaining funds are transferred, and ownership is officially transferred to the buyer.
- We ensure that all legal documents are correctly filed, and the keys are handed over.
