Licensed Conveyancers

Conveyancing or property law is the word that defines the transfer of land or property from one party to another. Licensed conveyancing in England & Wales is carried out by a property conveyancing solicitor who is 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 solicitor and 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. 

 

• Official Copy Entries and Filed Plan  When you sell or re-mortgage a property your solicitor will apply to the Land Registry for an Official copy of the deeds relating to your property and an Official Copy of the filed plan relating to your property.  If the Official copy refers to a document that is not set out in the Official copies then your solicitor will also have to obtain an Official copy of that document. Sometimes when you are buying a property your lawyer will obtain an Official copy of the filed plan to use for search purposes.

• H M Land Registry fees  When you buy a property, take out a new mortgage or transfer a share in a property the transaction must be registered at the Land Registry. The Land Registry charge a fee for registering the transfer and this is on a sliding scale depending upon the price of the property.
