What is conveyancing?

Conveyancing is the legal process involved in buying, selling or remortgaging a property. The Property & Conveyancing Team at Malcomson Law can assist you with all of your property needs.


Are you buying or selling a home?

Buying or building a home is one of the most significant events in our lives, and for most of us it represents one of our biggest financial and legal decisions.

It involves transactions with lots of people like auctioneers, builders, bankers and insurers, and there are important legal steps to be taken along the way. It is crucial to get it right.

At the heart of the transactions is your solicitor, and at Malcomson Law, we have a highly skilled team with experience and insight into the process.

To help you understand what you are facing when you decide to purchase or sell a property, we've produced a Guide to the Jargon involved in buying or selling a property, and the Steps in Buying or Selling a Property.

If you are thinking of buying a house, there are a number of things you should do including instructing a solicitor. If you have just bought a house, you should instruct a solicitor as soon as possible.

If you are purchasing a property, it's important to know the steps in a house purchase, budget for your costs, know the rates of stamp duty that you're liable for, whether it is on Residential property or Non-Residential property. There are also tax implications if you acquire a site from a family member, and building a house by direct labour.

We've produced a list of Frequently Asked Questions about property transactions, and we've included a list of What's Needed before Consulting Malcomson Law.

We also have experience dealing with Compulsory Purchase Orders (CPOs) to ensure that persons affected by CPOs receive fair and equitable compensation.
