I recently used Triangle Legal Services (Taylor Rose) for my first property purchase, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. Both Dheeshan and Ayuni were absolutely fantastic — professional, attentive, and always willing to go the extra mile to make sure everything went smoothly. They kept me informed at every step, explained things clearly, and were always quick to respond to my calls and emails. Their friendly approach and attention to detail really made the whole process stress-free and reassuring. A big thank you to both Dheeshan and Ayuni for their excellent support. I’d highly recommend Triangle Legal Services / Taylor Rose to anyone looking for a reliable and professional conveyancing team.

Abdurrahman at Premier Solicitors was exceptional throughout my home purchase. Always available, deeply understanding, and consistently supportive — he made a complex process feel calm and manageable. What stood out most was his reassurance; he never rushed, always listened, and treated every concern with genuine care. It felt like having a wise friend in your corner. The wider team were also courteous and efficient, helping everything run smoothly behind the scenes. Highly recommended.

M experience with the triangle legal service has been amazing. Abdurrahman and Gayan (property conveyancing) have been extremely helpful and efficient in dealing with our queries.There aren't enough words to describe how helpful they have been. We faced some struggles with contract exchange from the opposite side but Abdurrahman assured us that he will sort it from his side and that we do not need to worry. He sorted it. Also communication from both Gayan and Abdurrahman with has been excellent. I would 100% recommend them and I look forward to using them again in the future. Thank you for all the help, much appreciated!!! 😊

The Residential Property Conveyancing Process

Once you’ve chosen your solicitor, the conveyancing process begins. The goal of this process is to ensure all the necessary legal requirements are met prior to a change in property ownership.

Our team of dedicated residential conveyancing solicitors will guide you through each step of the process, guaranteeing everything is legal and in order for your peace of mind. 

At this stage, your solicitor will verify your identity. Having a solicitor who follows proper procedures at this stage is essential due to the rise in online fraud and identity theft.

The seller’s solicitor will draft a contract outlining the terms of the sale and prepare the necessary documents.

The buyer’s solicitor will conduct searches so there are no outstanding debts or legal issues with the property.

You may choose to have a survey done to check for any structural issues with the property.

This is often the most time-consuming part, involving gathering information and addressing any concerns from the buyer or seller. It also includes coordination between solicitors, managing agents (if leases are involved), estate agents, mortgage brokers or lenders, and buyers and sellers.

Your solicitor will secure the funds and assure they are ready for sale or purchase.

At this stage, the buyer and seller make a legal contract. The buyer’s solicitor will prepare a report for the client and lender about the title to the property and any other issues. The buyer pays a deposit to the seller, making them legally bound to buy the property.

As part of your residential property service, your conveyancer will calculate and pay the stamp duty land tax on your behalf. 

This is the final stage, where the buyer and seller prepare to move. Between exchange and completion, you should inform utility providers, arrange telephone lines, hire movers, and handle other practical matters. Your solicitors will arrange for funds to be transferred.

Your conveyancing solicitor will register the property in your name with the Land Registry.

Residential Property Conveyancing FAQs

The conveyancing process usually takes around 8-12 weeks but can vary based on factors like property type, chain length, and local processes. Learn more information about how long the conveyancing process takes.

Property searches typically include local authority, environmental, and drainage searches to uncover any issues that might affect the property or its value. Learn more about conveyancing searches.

Conveyancing costs include legal fees for the solicitor or conveyancer and disbursements such as searches, land registry fees, and taxes. Learn more about the cost of conveyancing.

There is no legal requirement to pay for property searches. However, it is exceptionally risky to avoid getting them done. At a minimum, you should invest in a:

  • Water and drainage search
  • Local authority search
  • Environmental search

Depending on where the property is located, it may also be wise to have searches related to mining and flood risks carried out. If you are buying with a mortgage, your lender will usually require searches.

Investing in getting the necessary property searches done can save you thousands of pounds should something occur that affects your property in the future, which could have been picked up before you committed to the purchase.

Either party can withdraw from the residential property transaction up until the exchange of contracts. Once contracts are exchanged, compensation will be owed to the other side if you cannot complete the sale and purchase process.

We take conveyancing fraud very seriously, especially since some transactions involve large sums of money. We follow all recommended guidelines to prevent conveyancing fraud. Additionally, we hold a Conveyancing Quality Accreditation from the Law Society of England and Wales, which requires us to have processes and procedures in place to ensure your funds are fully protected.

Legal issues can include boundary disputes, title discrepancies, or planning permission concerns. Our specialists in residential property work to resolve these issues before completion.

If the property is under leasehold, there are additional considerations compared to a freehold purchase. Leasehold properties involve owning the property for the length of the lease agreement with the landlord (freeholder).

If you are purchasing a leasehold property, our residential property law solicitors will review the lease agreement, advise on any implications, and ensure you are fully informed before proceeding.
