Types of Conveyancing
we can help with

Our conveyancing service covers every key legal process involved in buying, selling, financing and investing in residential property. Here’s how we help:

Whether you’re buying a new home or selling your current one, we’ll handle the entire legal process – from the moment an offer is received to the day of settlement and beyond.

We carry out due diligence on the title, negotiate and conclude missives (the binding contract), liaise with surveyors, mortgage lenders and other solicitors, and oversee the secure transfer of funds. You’ll be fully informed, supported and protected at every step – no jargon, no surprises.

We also offer particular expertise in:

  • New build purchases and part-exchange schemes
  • Sales under power of attorney or executry
  • First-time buyer guidance
  • Complex chains and bridging finance

Thinking of switching lenders to get a better deal? Our Private Remortgage the legal work required to discharge your existing mortgage (Standard Security) and register your new one.

Our team will coordinate with both your current and new lender, manage timescales carefully, and ensure your security over the property is updated properly with Registers of Scotland – all while minimising disruption to your plans.

Remortgaging may also be combined with title updates or adding/removing a party from the ownership. We can advise on structuring the transaction to meet your goals.

Transferring ownership of a property – whether between family members, spouses, or business partners – requires accurate legal drafting, lender consent (where applicable), and proper registration.

We prepare all necessary documents, help you navigate LBTT and deal with the title registration to make sure the new ownership is legally valid and properly recorded.

Title transfers often arise:

  • On separation or divorce
  • In inheritance planning or family gifting
  • When formalising joint ownership or investment
  • We’ll make sure everything is done securely, clearly, and in line with your intentions.

Many older properties in Scotland are still recorded in the Sasine Register – the historic land register. If you’re selling, remortgaging or transferring such a property, you’ll likely need to complete a First Registration to bring the title into the modern Land Register.

This can be a technical and paperwork-heavy process – but we’re experts at handling it. We’ll review title deeds, prepare updated plans if needed, resolve any gaps or discrepancies, and submit everything to Registers of Scotland on your behalf.

Doing this correctly protects your legal ownership and avoids costly complications later.

How it works

We believe conveyancing should be clear, proactive, and tailored to your needs. Here’s what to expect when working with us:

1. Initial consultation
1. Initial consultation

We start with a conversation – whether by phone, video or in person – to understand your goals, timelines and key considerations. Whether you’re buying, selling, refinancing or updating title, we’ll explain the likely steps and flag any early issues.

2. Legal checks and preparation
2. Legal checks and preparation

We carry out detailed due diligence on the property, including title review, boundaries, burdens, planning matters and lender requirements. We also coordinate with estate agents, lenders, and surveyors as needed to ensure a joined-up approach.

3. Missives and settlement
3. Missives and settlement

We draft or negotiate the missives – the formal offer letters that form the binding contract in Scotland. Once these are concluded, we guide you through settlement day: when the purchase price is paid, ownership is transferred, and keys change hands.

4. Registration and final documents
4. Registration and final documents

After settlement, we submit the required documents to Registers of Scotland to update ownership and (where relevant) mortgage details. You’ll receive confirmation once registration is complete – along with your title sheet for future reference. We’ll also retain secure digital records in case you need copies in the future.

Answers to Frequently
Asked Questions

Most transactions complete within 6 to 10 weeks, but this can vary depending on mortgage approvals, survey results, local authority searches, or if you’re part of a property chain. We’ll give you realistic timelines from the start and keep you updated.

Missives are the legal contract letters exchanged between the buyer’s and seller’s solicitors. Once the terms are agreed and concluded, the contract is binding. This is different from the English system and often happens earlier in the process.

Conveyancing is the legal term for the process of transferring the ownership (title) of a property from one party to another.  It involves checking what is included in the deal, issuing the contract (the missives), and carrying out all necessary searches to ensure that there are no factors affecting the sale which might impact on the buyer’s ownership of the property.

Our team of experienced solicitors and paralegals handle every part of the legal sales process. From gathering together all of the required documents (title deed, building warrants and alteration certificates, mortgage documentation, etc), to liaising with the buyer’s solicitors, and repaying your lender, our team will keep you appraised of progress throughout the journey.

Once you have found a property you love, our team will note interest in the property, go over the home report with you, check on any closing date, and advise you on making an offer including both the amount and the date of entry. Assuming it is accepted, you will then be kept informed of progress throughout the conveyancing process including communications with any mortgage lender.

Yes – your new lender will require legal checks, discharge of the old mortgage, and formal registration of their new security over the property. We handle this efficiently on your behalf.

Yes – this is a common form of title transfer. We can help you change ownership shares, add or remove names, and provide legal advice on the implications (including tax, liability and succession planning).

If your property isn’t on the Land Register (common in older homes), a First Registration is required when selling, mortgaging, or transferring it. It updates your title to the modern digital system, giving better legal certainty.
