What Is Conveyancing?

Conveyancing is the legal process of transferring ownership of a property from one party to another. It includes preparing and reviewing contracts, carrying out property searches, dealing with mortgage lenders, raising legal enquiries, and ensuring funds are transferred correctly on completion. While it may sound straightforward, conveyancing mistakes or delays can result in:

Transactions falling through
Unexpected costs
Completion delays
Legal or financial risk

This is why choosing the right conveyancing solicitor, particularly one with local Kent knowledge — is so important.

A conveyancing solicitor will typically handle:

Local authority and property searches
Mortgage lender requirements
Enquiries and legal checks
Exchange of contracts
Completion and post-completion formalities

Why Choose Local Conveyancing Solicitors Kent?

Kent property transactions often involve local authority searches, planning considerations, conservation areas, coastal issues, and leasehold complexities that national or remote firms may not fully appreciate. Working with a Kent-based conveyancing solicitor means:

Faster and more accurate local searches
Familiarity with Kent councils and processes
Better communication and accountability
Fewer surprises during the transaction

Our solicitor partners handle transactions across Canterbury, Maidstone, Ashford, Tunbridge Wells, Medway, Folkestone, Dover, Thanet, and surrounding areas.
