It is the legal process of transferring the ownership of a property from one person to another.
Once an offer is accepted, your conveyancing solicitor will ensure all relevant contracts are signed and money transfers are completed.
Conveyancing should be undertaken by specialist conveyancing solicitors or licensed conveyancers. They act on behalf of a buyer or seller.
Solicitors in England and Wales should be registered with the Law Society and regulated by the Solicitors Regulations Authority (SRA). Conveyancers need to be licensed and regulated by the Council for Licensed Conveyancers (CLC). Scotland and Northern Ireland have their own societies; the Law Society of Scotland and the Law Society of Northern Ireland.
