FAQS
Conveyancing is the legal process of transferring ownership of property from one party (the seller) to another (the buyer). It involves solicitors from both sides liaising (by missives) until the sale is agreed. Solicitors in Scotland play a more prominent role in the buying and selling of property than the rest of the UK.
The process starts when a formal offer is made and ends when the keys are handed over. Unfortunately, there is no set timescale for the conclusion of missives.
Before you can make an offer on a property, you need a mortgage lender to agree that they are willing to lend you the money to buy the property. This is called a ‘mortgage in principle’.
In Scotland, you must use a solicitor to make a formal written offer for a property. Solicitors are responsible for putting in the offer, negotiating and checking the contract and organising the transfer of the Title and money.
