Residential Conveyancing

This term means the buying and selling of domestic properties, both second hand and brand new, freehold or leasehold and plots of land. It also encompasses remortgage work and transfers of title from one party to another.

If you are purchasing a property we will provide you with a full written contract report for you to keep so that details of your property will always be to hand. We understand that a house purchase is very important to you and we never forget that personal contact is paramount. We also use an electronic case management system to keep delay to a minimum.

The Law changed in 2007 making it illegal to offer property for sale on the open market without a Home Information Pack (HIP). The HIP is a set of documents that gathers together essential information about the property. The compulsory elements of the HIP are a copy of your title deed, a local authority search, a water and drainage search and Energy Performance Certificate (EPC), a sale statement and an index.

A HIP is an important legal document and you will want to know that it has been prepared by a lawyer. Here at scottbailey we will prepare your HIP in a cost effective and efficient manner and will make sure that your chosen Estate Agent has your HIP as soon as possible so that your house can go onto the market at the earliest opportunity.
