What is conveyancing and why is it essential in the buying and selling of properties?

Conveyancing is the legal process that transfers property ownership from one party to another. Whether you’re buying or selling a house, flat, or commercial unit, conveyancing is mandatory to ensure the transaction is legally valid, properly documented, and registered with HM Land Registry.

The buying and selling of properties without professional conveyancing support risks costly delays, legal errors, and disputes down the line. Our team at Axis Solicitors ensures that your conveyancing process is handled accurately, efficiently, and with full transparency at every stage.

Do you need conveyancing for commercial property transactions?

Yes—commercial conveyancing is a vital part of the buying and selling of properties for business use. Whether you’re acquiring a retail unit, industrial site, or office premises, our conveyancing solicitors deliver commercial solutions tailored to your objectives.

We handle:

  • Sale and purchase of freehold and leasehold commercial properties
  • Drafting and negotiating commercial leases
  • Reviewing title, access, and usage rights
  • Addressing planning, zoning, and development restrictions
  • Advising on VAT, SDLT, and capital allowances

With Axis Solicitors, your commercial conveyancing is managed strategically to support your operational and financial goals.

What should I know about leasehold property conveyancing?

Leasehold conveyancing requires added diligence due to the complexity of lease agreements. When buying or selling leasehold properties, we provide legal advice that protects you from financial surprises or legal restrictions.

Our leasehold conveyancing service includes:

  • Reviewing lease terms, service charges, and ground rent clauses
  • Investigating lease length and extension rights
  • Liaising with managing agents and freeholders
  • Advising on leasehold enfranchisement and right-to-manage issues

Whether you’re a buyer or seller, proper leasehold conveyancing is essential to avoid long-term risks.

Remortgaging your property?

If you’re switching lenders or changing mortgage terms, our conveyancing solicitors will handle the legal work to ensure a smooth transition.

Our remortgaging services cover:

  • Liaising with new and existing lenders
  • Reviewing mortgage offers and lender instructions
  • Discharging existing mortgages and registering new ones
  • Ensuring timing aligns with penalty periods or fixed-rate ends

Even if there’s no buying and selling of properties involved, remortgage conveyancing is still legally required.

Do you need to transfer property ownership without selling?

Yes. A transfer of equity is a legal process where one or more people are added or removed from a property title. This often occurs during divorce, inheritance, gifting, or restructuring.

Our conveyancing team manages:

  1. Drafting and filing transfer documents
  2. Advising on SDLT (if applicable)
  3. Securing mortgage lender consent
  4. Updating records with HM Land Registry

While there’s no buying and selling of properties in these cases, conveyancing remains essential to legally formalise the ownership change.
