Read on.

The Home of Conveyancing

We have published hundreds of blogs on all aspects of buying and selling your home since we were the first law firm back in 2008 to blog on Conveyancing.

We like to feel we are the home of Conveyancing – your one-stop resource to equip you with everything you need to know about moving home.

In March 2011 we published a blog a day setting out everything we thought you would need to know about Conveyancing in 31 bite-sized chunks.

We thought it was high time to update that series and give you a blog a day for the whole of May.

Your Conveyancing Questions Answered

We’ve split the posts into four sections which we think will make the information more digestible – our original series was after all condensed everything into bite-sized chunks.

Our aim is to provide you with as much background information to help your through your Conveyancing Journey from start to finish – and better still before you start until you finish.

How Much Do You Need to Read?

We’ve tried to make this series as concise and as easy to read and digest as possible.

It will really help you if you read all the posts (we say that though) but as each individual sale or purchase transaction may be slightly different you can mix and match or dip in as you require.

We will also be making printable PDF versions as we go on and also provide you with dozens of linked-to resources which we feel worthy of your attention.
