Residential Conveyancing

Buying or selling a home is a big moment and it can be stressful if you don’t have the right support.
At Nova Solicitors, our job is to make the process as simple, clear and hassle-free as possible.

We act for clients who are buying, selling or re-mortgaging their homes, whether the property is freehold or leasehold. From the first call to completion, we explain everything in plain English, keep you updated, and deal with problems quickly so you can move forward with confidence.

Our Residential Property team can help you with:

• Buying or selling your home (freehold or leasehold)
  We handle all the legal work – checking the title, reviewing contracts, carrying out searches, dealing with your lender and the other side’s solicitors – so your move goes through as smoothly as possible.
• Buying the freehold of a leasehold property or block
  Clear advice for leaseholders who want to buy the freehold of their house, flat or an entire block, including co-ordinating with other owners.
• Buying and selling at auction
  We review the legal pack before you bid and deal with all post-auction conveyancing, helping you meet tight auction deadlines.
• Lease extensions
  Support with extending your lease, whether informally with the freeholder or using the formal legal process, so you protect the value and saleability of your property.
• Re-mortgaging
  We deal with the legal side when you switch lenders or move to a new mortgage product, keeping the process quick and straightforward.
• Bridging mortgages
  Practical guidance where short-term bridging finance is needed – for example, if you want to buy a new property before your current one is sold and need everything to line up on time.
• Shared ownership
  Advice on buying, selling or increasing your share (“staircasing”) in a shared ownership property, and dealing with housing association requirements.
• Right to Buy
  Helping council and housing association tenants to buy their home under Right to Buy or Right to Acquire schemes, making sure you understand the terms and your responsibilities.
• Estate conveyancing
  Sensitive, efficient handling of property sales and transfers where the owner has passed away and the property forms part of an estate.
• Transfer of equity
  Legal work for changes in ownership – for example, adding or removing a partner or family member from the title, often alongside a new or updated mortgage.

If you are thinking of buying, selling, re-mortgaging or using a bridging mortgage, talk to us first.
We offer clear advice, regular updates and a personal service, so you always know what is happening and what will happen next.
