A personal and professional conveyancing service
There’s no doubt about it, moving home is one of life’s most stressful events. As experienced conveyancing solicitors, our aim is to make the process as smooth as possible. It is important for you to feel informed of progress, so we will ensure you are constantly kept up to date. Selling a property is complex, but our straightforward, jargon-free advice will ensure you understand the process.
It can be very frustrating if you do not feel you are being kept updated or if you do not know who you should contact with questions. That is why your property sale will be handled by a senior and experienced conveyancer with an assigned assistant, so you have two people to contact at all times.
We know that our clients across Cornwall and Devon appreciate our personal approach. Their feedback has led to us winning a host of customer service awards at the ESTAS Conveyancer Awards.
What does a solicitor do when I am selling my house?
A conveyancer is a lawyer who specialises in the sale and purchase of residential property. When you are selling a house, we work with the estate agent, the buyer’s solicitor and other specialists including the mortgage broker, buildings insurance broker and surveyor. Our role is to coordinate the whole process to ensure everything happens to complete your sale.
What is the process for selling a house?
There are three key stages to selling a property:
1 – Gathering property information
We will provide you with a property questionnaire and fixture/fitting list to give the buyer important information about the property. We will also obtain the deeds to your property.
When your estate agent has helped find a buyer for your property, we will prepare a contract package for your buyer. We will then deal with any enquiries from your buyer’s solicitor.
2 – Keeping everything progressing
When contracts are due to be exchanged, we will chase the solicitor and estate agent up the chain to ensure everything is progressing as quickly as possible. We will also deal with any enquiries raised by the property searches.
3 – Exchanging and completing
When everything is agreed with your buyer’s mortgage we will manage the exchange of contracts and negotiate a completion date with your buyer and everyone else in the chain. We will ensure the Transfer Deed is signed, finally transferring the ownership of the property to the buyer.

How long will it take to sell my property?
The average property sale takes between six and ten weeks. However, it depends on a number of factors such as how long it takes for the mortgage to be issued and the complexity of the transaction. Above all, it depends on the other parties in the chain.
What is the cost for your conveyancing services?
We offer competitive pricing and recognise the fear of writing a blank cheque for solicitors’ costs. That is why we have fixed fees, with no hidden costs.
