What Customers Say About Blackfriars Law

What Is Conveyancing?

Conveyancing is the legal process of transferring property ownership from one party to another. It includes reviewing contracts, conducting legal checks (known as searches), and handling the financial exchange of funds.

If you’re buying with a mortgage, your lender will require a solicitor to ensure all legal aspects are in order before they release funds.

What Are Conveyancing Searches?

When you buy a property, it’s the property solicitor’s responsibility to conduct searches to ensure that there are no issues with the property you are about to buy. Searches are completed before the property transaction can take place. They include:

Additional searches may also be ordered to establish whether the property has been, or could be, subject to subsidence, radon gas levels and so on. Your lender will require these searches to ensure the value of the property will not be affected before they lend to you.

Do You Need A Conveyancer Or A Solicitor?

When buying or selling a property, many people wonder whether they need a licensed conveyancer or a solicitor. While both can carry out property transactions, there are key differences.

A licensed conveyancer specialises solely in property law. A solicitor, however, is a fully qualified legal professional with broader training and can advise on more complex legal matters that may arise during the conveyancing process.

At Blackfriars Law, all our conveyancing is handled by our qualified solicitors. This means that if your transaction involves disputes, probate sales, leasehold complications, or shared ownership, you’re in expert hands. We don’t just process paperwork, we offer comprehensive legal protection and peace of mind.

Choosing a solicitor ensures you’re covered not just for the transaction, but for any wider legal issues that may affect your property rights.

FAQs

Most residential property transactions take between 8 to 12 weeks, but the timeline can vary depending on factors like mortgage approvals, leasehold complexities, or issues uncovered during searches. We always aim to progress your transaction as efficiently as possible and will keep you updated at every stage.
Exchange of contracts is when the sale or purchase becomes legally binding. This is when dates are set and deposits are paid. Completion is the final stage, when ownership officially transfers and keys are handed over.

Searches typically include:

  • Local authority searches (planning permissions, restrictions)
  • Environmental searches (flood risks, contamination)
  • Water and drainage searches (pipework, sewers)

We’ll advise you on any additional searches relevant to your property.

Yes. Even if no mortgage is involved, a solicitor is essential to check legal ownership, restrictions, and potential risks like unpaid charges or boundary issues. Skipping legal checks could lead to serious problems later on.
A leasehold property means you own the building or flat for a fixed term but not the land it sits on. It may involve ground rent, service charges, and restrictions on changes or subletting. We’ll help you review the lease and identify any red flags.
Our fixed-fee quote covers all legal work involved in your sale or purchase, including communication with agents, preparing contracts, conducting searches, and registering the property. Any optional extras or third-party fees (like stamp duty or Land Registry fees) will always be explained clearly.
No, we cannot represent both parties in the same transaction. It would be a conflict of interest. Each party must have separate legal representation to ensure their best interests are protected.
