con·vey·anc·ing: the branch of law practice consisting of examining titles, giving opinions as to their validity, and drawing of deeds, etc., for the conveyance of property from one person to another.

This is the legal process of selling/buying property and is usually the most frustrating. This process involves so many different parties that it can often feel that little or nothing happens for weeks.

Much like Estate Agents, there are thousands of solicitors and specialist conveyancing firms out there to choose from- but how do you choose? Many people opt to use a family solicitor or a firm they have used in the past. Whilst it is always good to deal with someone familiar, this is not always best as different firms usually excel at different areas of law.

It is always worth talking to friends or family who have bought/sold to see who they recommend. Experience is the key- it is also worth talking to your Agents too!

Here at base, our staff have spent years in the London residential property industry and have developed a list of solicitors we can recommend from experience. We have several firms that we operate with on a regular basis and can highly recommend for their professionalism, tenacity, expediency and value for money.
