Guide to Buying your First Home

21 ASSISTANCE Conveyancing Conveyancing is the documentation and processes involved in transferring the real property from the person you are buying from to yourself. This includes the exchange of the contracts and delivery of the money for settling the property. You can use a conveyancing company or a solicitor to carry out these tasks. I have always used a solicitor because if something goes wrong, they have the legal credentials to deal with it for you. There are many great conveyancing companies available and you may find some of these to be slightly cheaper so I suggest you talk to friends and relatives who have recently bought and see who they can recommend. Never decide on a conveyancing company because they are advertising a cheap price online, ask around, things can go wrong so you need someone with a good reputation to represent you.
