Solicitors and Licensed Conveyancers

Conveyancing or property law is the word that defines the transfer of land or property in London from one party to another. Licensed conveyancing in London England & Wales is carried out by conveyancing solicitors who are governed by the Law Society and licensed conveyancers by the Council of Licensed Conveyancers. These organisations are there to protect the public and all property conveyancing solicitors and London licensed conveyancers must have in place indemnity insurance to protect their clients. The conveyancing law process can be complex and stressful and it makes sense to use a qualified conveyancer to take care of your property law transaction. If you have a mortgage on the property all mortgage lenders will insist that you use a qualified conveyancer who is on their conveyancing panel.
