Residential Conveyancing

Our solicitors specialise in advising on the complex area of residential property law, especially residential conveyancing. We offer friendly, efficient and effective legal advice on all areas of residential property law.

Residential conveyancing is the legal process of buying or selling a home. Most people use solicitors to act for them on a sale or purchase because they are not familiar with the process. If you are buying with a mortgage, your lender will also require a solicitor to act on its behalf. At Indus Valley Solicitors, we are always happy to talk to clients who have any initial questions about the process.

We deal with a wide range of property conveyancing matters, including:

• Purchase and sale of residential property
• Purchase and sale of commercial property
• Purchase and sale of leasehold property
• Transfers of property by way of gift
• Shared ownership

We offer competitive quotes on all property matters, so please call us to book a free consultation with one of our expert property lawyers.
