Residential Property

Unsure what’s involved in the conveyancing process? Watch our quick video walk-through outlining every step.

We can help you with:

• Buying a property

Whether you are buying your first home or downsizing, our conveyancing team will help to make the process as straightforward as possible so that you can settle in quickly.

• Selling a property

All property sales require assistance from a licensed conveyancer to ensure that the sale is completed fairly and legally. Our conveyancing team will walk you through this process, promptly responding to any issues or queries that may arise to complete the sale in a suitable timeframe. 

• Flats and other leasehold properties

The process of buying or selling a leasehold property has its own nuances which must be managed appropriately. Here at Kitson Boyce, our specialist team can assist with all conveyancing matters related to flats and leasehold properties, ensuring you have a complete understanding of the process ahead. 

• Help to Buy ISA’s, mortgages and mortgage repayments

If using the help-to-buy scheme or other ISAs to purchase your first home, there will be certain legal conditions to meet. Our conveyancers are experienced in dealing with these schemes and can also provide guidance on mortgage agreements, repayments, and managing the legal implications of your chosen mortgage terms. 

• Shared ownership and new-builds

The sale and/or purchase of a new-build property may bring additional considerations, as does the purchase of a portion of a property. We have experience dealing with both new-build and shared ownership purchases, ensuring you are fully compliant with your legal obligations.

• Lease extensions

A lease extension may be required if you are purchasing or already own a leasehold property. Our efficient team will help you to negotiate terms with the freeholder and explain your rights with full clarity, making this often complex process manageable within your timeframes. 

• Remortgages and equity release

When your existing mortgage deal comes to an end, you may need to explore remortgaging. Much like when you took out your initial mortgage, this process comes with wide-ranging legal obligations which our team of conveyancers can help you meet. We also have experience assisting with the equity release process later in life.

• Transfer of Equity

Our conveyancing team can manage the transfer of property ownership between parties, whether through sale, gift, or divorce settlement. We understand that there can often be sensitivity in these situations and we will help to make sure you fully understand your rights and obligations. 

• Buy-to-lets

Buy-to-let purchases are increasingly common but do come with their own set of unique challenges to ensure that you are fully compliant with landlord regulations. At Kitson Boyce, we have wide-ranging experience in this area and will be on hand to advise on the legal considerations specific to rental properties. 

• Right-to-Buy

To buy a council or housing association property through the Right-to-Buy scheme, you must meet certain eligibility criteria. These types of purchases can be guided by an expert conveyancer who will provide advice related to purchasing a property at a discounted rate.

• Auction properties

When purchasing an auction property, you will receive an auction pack containing full details of the conditions of the auction. Our conveyancing team can review this pack and highlight any legal risks or issues to ensure a smooth transaction.
