A good conveyancing solicitor keeps things moving, keeps you informed and deals with problems before they become delays.
Hine Solicitors handles residential conveyancing for clients in Beaconsfield, Gerrards Cross, Amersham and the wider Chilterns area. Our property team manages the full process for buying, selling, remortgaging and transfers of equity, explaining each stage clearly so nothing comes as a surprise.
When you are buying, we carry out the searches and checks, review the contract and raise queries with the seller’s solicitors before you commit. We explain what the searches show in plain English and flag anything worth knowing before you proceed. We act for you as the buyer, not for both sides. Exchange and completion only happen when you are ready.
When you are selling, we prepare the contract pack, respond to enquiries and work to keep your side moving. Chains can only move as fast as their slowest link, and slow legal responses are a common cause of delays that ripple through to everyone else in it. We prioritise turning things around promptly.
If you are remortgaging, we handle the legal side of the transaction. In many cases we can act for both you and your lender, which means one point of contact and one set of paperwork rather than two. We deal with your lender’s requirements and keep things on track so timing works in your favour.
Adding someone to a property title or taking a name off it needs to be done carefully and in the right order. We advise on the right approach for your circumstances and put the right protections in place before anything is registered.

How long does conveyancing take?
Timing depends on the chain, your mortgage offer and how quickly local authority searches come back. We keep you updated at each stage and flag anything that looks likely to cause a delay as early as we can.
Do I need a solicitor to remortgage?
Yes. A solicitor handles your lender’s legal requirements and registers the new mortgage once everything is agreed, even where the property is not changing hands.
What is a transfer of equity?
A transfer of equity changes who legally owns a property, for example adding a partner to the title or removing a name after a separation. It involves updating the legal ownership and resolving any connected financial matters before the new arrangement can be registered.
What does it cost?
Costs vary by transaction type and property value. We provide estimates before starting and explain what is included so there are no surprises.
