    Why Hire a North London Conveyancer?

    Hiring a conveyancer will ensure that you have an efficient process. This is because they will guide you through the transaction and explain any legal jargon. They will also carry out crucial conveyancing searches.

    North London is home to some of the most affluent neighbourhoods in the United Kingdom. Here you can find the boroughs of Barnet, Camden, Enfield, Hackney, Haringey, and Islington. According to the UK House Price Index, 15,536 existing properties and 840 new builds were bought in these boroughs over the past year. In all boroughs, detached properties increased the most in price, rising by as much as 14.8%.

    Instructing your conveyancer as soon as your offer is agreed upon will ensure that your process is more efficient. Here is what to expect from the conveyancing process:

    • Liaising with mortgage lenders
    • Checking through the contracts and raising any enquiries
    • Arranging the exchange of contract
    • Paying disbursements such as Stamp Duty
    • Conducting conveyancing searches
    • Agreeing on a completion date

    Your conveyancer may have to carry out additional steps if you have a difficult case. This includes buying or selling a leasehold property.
