Is it possible to carry out your own conveyancing?
If you’re not yet familiar with the term conveyancing, allow us to explain. Conveyancing is the legal term for the process whereby ownership of a property is transferred between two parties. It involves a legal document or deed that is known as a conveyance and that passes the property from the seller to the buyer. It is usually carried out by a solicitor, a licensed conveyancer or, in Scotland, a solicitor’s agent. But is it possible for you to cut out the middle man and do your own conveyancing, potentially saving hundreds of pounds in fees?The short answer to that question is “yes”.
