Buying & Selling Property with Priory Law

Buying or selling your home is likely to be one of the biggest financial decisions that you'll make and it follows therefore that the legal side of it can feel overwhelming.

Our expert conveyancers will guide you through the process with ease, from carrying out and reviewing the property searches and reviewing title deeds through to liaising with mortgage lenders, reporting to you and seeing you through to the exchange of contracts and completion of the process. We keep communication clear throughout the whole process to ensure you're kept in the loop the whole way so you can know exactly where your transaction stands.

We completely understand that no two moves are the same, every property is unique and every client is unique.

• Raising enquiries and reporting on findings from investigations

Remortgaging Made Simple

Is your fixed rate deal coming to an end or are possibly thinking about releasing some equity from your home? Then remortgaging is often seen as purely a financial decision, but there's a legal side to it too and getting that part right matters just as much as securing a good rate as well.

When you remortgage, your existing lender needs to be repaid and a new mortgage put in its place, with the change formally registered against your property. It can sound simple enough, however, there are checks that need to be carried out, documents to prepare and conditions set by your new lender that need to be met before the switch can go ahead. Our team of conveyancers can handle all of this on your behalf, working directly with you so that the timeline for the entire process stays on track and also nothing gets missed along the way.

But we know that not every remortgage looks the same, some homeowners are simply moving to a better rate with minimal issues, while we can see that others are releasing equity, adding a partner to the title or dealing with a leasehold property that needs additional lease information. Whatever could be the reason behind your remortgage, we take the time to understand your situation properly before getting to work, rather than treating each and every case as identical.

As part of the whole remortgaging process we make sure that you don't have to worry about anything and we make sure to take care of:

• Reviewing your new mortgage offer and any conditions your lender has set
• Carrying out property checks where these are needed
• Preparing the new mortgage deed and any supporting documentation
• Redeeming your existing mortgage and putting the new one in place
• Registering the change of mortgage with HM Land Registry

With this combination of consistency, clarity of communication and straightforward pricing it makes remortgaging in Redhill less complicated than it might seem.

Changing Property Ownership

When we look at changing property ownership, not every change involves the full sale of the property. Adding a new partner to the title, removing an owner, or transferring a share of the property to a family member, these are all examples of a “transfer of equity”. While the process is often more straightforward than buying or selling a property, it still needs to be carried out correctly to protect every person involved within the process.

If there's a mortgage on the property, your lender's consent will be needed before a transfer of equity can take place. We will liaise with your lender, preparing the transfer deed and also making sure that the changes are properly documented and registered. We'll keep you updated throughout, so you can move forward to the next steps with confidence. Where other parties are leaving the title we will liaise with their conveyancer to facilitate the transfer of equity to protect your interests.

Every transfer of equity can involve a number of moving parts throughout the process, so that's why our team makes sure to take care of each one that comes our way so you don't have to worry about it. As part of the process, our dedicated conveyancers take care of:

• Instructions, onboarding and AML checks
• Liaising with any lender to obtain evidence of their consent to transfer
• Reviewing the title and preparing the transfer deed for approval and signature
• Complying with any restrictions on the title
• Ensuring the lender's requirements are satisfied
• Flagging where separate financial or tax advice may be needed
• Completing the transfer and updating ownership details
• Registering the change with HM Land Registry

Throughout the entire process for the transfer of equity, you'll have a dedicated conveyancer from the outset, and we will provide you with excellent communication so that the transferring of your equity is handled with the same care and attention as any other property transaction.

Extending Your Lease

If you own a leasehold property, then the number of years left on your lease can actually matter more than you might realise. As your lease gets shorter, it becomes more valuable to the freeholder, and therefore can affect your property's value and make it harder to sell and remortgage when it comes to it further down the line. So, this can mean that extending your lease in good time can protect that value and also give you a greater feeling of security as a homeowner.

Once a lease drops below a certain number of years, the cost of extending it can rise significantly.

If you are extending your lease informally with your freeholder then we can help (if your freeholder will not agree to do so, you will need to appoint a law firm specialising in leasehold enfranchisement who can assist with this).

Once you have agreed with the freeholder on the terms of the extension the process typically involves:

• Confirming the agreed terms and premium payable
• Reviewing the title, liaising with the freeholder's conveyancer and approving the draft deed to extend the lease
• Finalising the deed and obtaining lender approval where appropriate

Our team has the expertise and knowledge to communicate the process with you and make sure you know exactly where you're at.

Whether you might be extending a lease ahead of a potential sale, could be that you're protecting your property's long term value or simply making the most out of your home - our team of conveyancers will be on hand to guide you through it all and make sure that the process goes as smoothly as possible.
