Conveyancing is the legal process that transfers shared equity or property from one owner to another. Your online conveyancing will be carried out by online conveyancing property solicitors specialist employed by one of the CMS panel solicitors/ licensed conveyancer.  All of our panel firms are approved for shared equity transfer and regularly checked by CMS.  All firms are members of the Law Society or Council for Licensed Conveyancers (you will find their contact details in our Links section) and all carry at least £1,000,000 worth of indemnity insurance for the protection of their clients.

All of our fully qualified online conveyancing solicitors who undertake legal shared transfer sign a legal agreement to abide by the equity quotes we provide, not to charge "hidden extras" and also to provide the level of service published in our Service Charter - which you will find in the left hand menu. In a nutshell good conveyancing transfer solicitors will be qualified, experienced, pro-active and IT literate.
