What Does a Conveyancer Do – And Why You Need a Good One When Buying or Selling

Whether you're buying your first home, selling an investment property, or completing on a high-end mansion, one thing is certain: the conveyancer you choose can make or break the deal.

At Elite International Real Estate, we work with a panel of trusted, affordable, and fantastic conveyancers who make the legal process as smooth and stress-free as possible.
What Is Conveyancing?

Conveyancing is the legal process of transferring ownership of property from one person to another. It ensures that all legal documents are in order, searches are carried out, contracts are exchanged correctly, and the transaction is registered with HM Land Registry.

In the UK, conveyancing is typically handled by a solicitor, licensed conveyancer, or chartered legal executive. You’ll need one whether you're buying, selling, remortgaging, or transferring equity.

What Does a Conveyancer Actually Do?

Here’s what your conveyancer will take care of:

If You’re Buying a Property:

    ✔️ Review the draft contract from the seller’s solicitor

    ✔️ Carry out legal property searches, including Local Authority, drainage, environmental, and planning

    ✔️ Check for covenants, easements, boundaries, and restrictions

    ✔️ Ensure the mortgage lender’s requirements are met (if you're getting a mortgage)

    ✔️ Negotiate contract terms and raise enquiries

    ✔️ Handle exchange of contracts and deposit transfer

    ✔️ Complete final checks and register the ownership with HM Land Registry

If You’re Selling a Property:

    ✔️ Prepare and send out the contract pack

    ✔️ Respond to enquiries raised by the buyer’s solicitor

    ✔️ Liaise with your mortgage lender (if applicable)

    ✔️ Redeem any outstanding mortgages on completion

    ✔️ Coordinate the exchange of contracts and legal transfer of ownership

    ✔️ Transfer funds to your account once completion occurs
