H2: What do conveyancing solicitors do?

Property and conveyancing solicitors handle the legal process of transferring ownership of property. If you need a solicitor for buying a house, then you will need a conveyancing team. 

For example, if you want to buy a house, you will need to instruct a conveyancing solicitor as well as property services, because both are required to transfer ownership of the property to you through a legal document known as a Deed of Conveyance.

New build conveyancing solicitors

When you buy a new-build property, the standard residential conveyancing process is slightly different. New build property purchases require closer contact with the property developer and as such the process can become more complex.

Your Crombie Wilkinson property and conveyancing solicitor can advise on part exchanges, Help to Buy and more. We’ll also work hard to ensure tight deadlines are met.

Cybercrime and conveyancing

Fraudsters are increasingly targeting law firms and their clients, and may attempt to trick clients into sending funds to the wrong bank account. If you receive an email purporting to come from Crombie Wilkinson Solicitors LLP which informs you of a change to our bank account details, please speak to us straight away. This email may be fraudulent.

Crombie Wilkinson Solicitors LLP will never ask you to send money to a different bank account.

Please do not send funds to the changed bank account. We will not accept responsibility if funds are transferred to an incorrect account.

FAQs about conveyancing

Do I need a conveyancing solicitor to buy or sell a house?

Yes. A solicitor is required to handle the legal checks, contracts, payments and Land Registry work. This reduces delays and avoids legal risks.

What’s the difference between a conveyancer and a solicitor?

A conveyancer focuses solely on property. A solicitor can handle conveyancing plus wider legal issues if complications arise, offering broader expertise.

Can I use online conveyancing instead of meeting in person?

Yes. Our app and online portal let you complete most steps digitally, including document upload, ID checks and progress tracking.

How much do conveyancing solicitors charge?

Our fees depend on factors such as the value of the property, whether it is freehold or leasehold, and whether you are buying, selling or remortgaging. You can get an estimate using our online Instant Conveyancing Quote and view more detail on our Conveyancing Pricing Overview page.
