Residential Property Sales

We place an emphasis on giving you comprehensive sales advice when it comes to residential property sales. Our services include consultation on the current property market; liaison with the estate agents;  setting of a closing date for offers;  processing of conveyancing on the sale; and completion of financial settlement.

Residential Property Purchases

If you are looking to buy a residential property, we can advise you on all aspects of the purchase including overviews of the current  market; advice on individual properties; guidance on offers and contracts; assistance with mortgages; advice on surveys and valuations; conveyancing of the purchase on completion of the contracts; and completion of the financial settlement.

Remortgages

In recent years, remortgages have become popular and, even in the present market conditions, many people are able to reduce their monthly payments by remortgaging. The main advantage of a remortgage is the saving that can be made through lower rates of interest and through your life insurance. By reviewing your mortgage and any insurance schemes and taking account of any changes to your personal circumstances, we can help find the correct package for your needs.

Residential Leases

We can advise and assist on matters related to short and long residential leases. When you buy a leasehold interest or take a short tenancy of a flat or maisonette, or if you are the landlord and wish to let your property or sell the lease, there are important issues which need to be addressed. We can negotiate on your behalf and ensure that you are properly advised of the contents of the agreement you sign: if you are a tenant you will know your rights and obligations; and if you are a landlord our services will give you peace of mind that your property is occupied under terms you are comfortable with.

Transfer of Equity

If you have come to the end of a relationship with the person you jointly own a residential property with, we may be able to help.  Transfer of equity on your home is one of our residential conveyancing services. Usually, properties are sold and divided between each party involved but with a transfer of equity one owner can agree to sell their interest in the property to the other. We can help you re-arrange your finances and facilitate the transfer of equity with both the lender and the other parties involved. We can assist in calculating the value of a property so that the outgoing partner receives what is due to them.

Enfranchisement and Leasehold Extension

Through enfranchisement, you and your fellow block residents can take control of the building you live in rather than leave it in the hands of a managing agent. Enfranchising your block will allow you not only to benefit from the financial rewards of not having to pay ground rent and arranging cheaper buildings insurance but also enable you together with the other block residents to decide when works are carried out and by whom.  We can help you initiate this process.

Allow our experts to go over the qualifications needed to satisfy the enfranchisement and also, where there are not enough lessees willing to participate in the enfranchisement, discuss with you the possibility of an extension on your current lease.

At RHY Law Solicitors we have deep and broad experience in the area of Residential Property conveyancing. We see it as our job to achieve what you wish to achieve, efficiently, but at the same time keeping you informed throughout the process.

You will always we able to discuss the process of your matter with the fully qualified solicitor who will be handling it.

It is important for us to make sure you understand the terms, the obligations and responsibilities that are being undertaken. To make our residential conveyancing services as clear as possible we will always inform you of any charges at the outset of any transaction you instruct us to carry out and will advise you of the expenses you will need to find to carry out the related transactions.
