Licensed
Conveyancers
Conveyancing
or property law
is the word that defines the transfer of land or
property law from one party to another. Licensed conveyancing in England & Wales is carried out
by conveyancing solicitors who are governed by
the Law Society and licensed conveyancers by the
CLC.
These organisations
are
there to protect the public and all property conveyancing
solicitors 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 lawyer to take care of your
property law transaction.
If you have a mortgage on
the house all mortgage lenders will insist
that you use a qualified lawyer who is on
their conveyancing panel.
