Searches, contract reviews, queries between solicitors, lender requirements — each step has to be done in the right order, and missing one or doing it slowly can hold up everyone else in a chain.
Hine Solicitors handles residential conveyancing for clients in Gerrards Cross, Denham, Chalfont St Peter and Iver. Our property team covers buying, selling, remortgaging and transfers of equity, managing the process from start to finish and keeping you informed throughout.
When you are buying, we carry out the searches and checks, review the contract and raise anything with the seller’s solicitors that needs attention before you commit. We explain what the searches show in plain English. We act for you as the buyer. Exchange and completion only happen when you are informed and ready.
When you are selling, we prepare the contract pack, respond to enquiries and keep your side of the transaction moving. Slow responses at the legal stage are a common cause of delay in a chain, and a hold-up anywhere in it can create problems for people well beyond your own transaction. We make it a priority to turn things around quickly.
If you are remortgaging to release equity or switch lenders, we handle the legal side. In many cases we can act for both you and your lender, giving you one point of contact and keeping things on track so timing works in your favour rather than against you.
If you need to add or remove a name from a property title, we advise on the right approach and put the right protections in place before anything is registered. This can be more involved than it appears even where everyone is in agreement.

How long does conveyancing take?
Timing depends on the chain, your mortgage offer and local authority search returns. We keep you updated at each stage and flag delays early.
What happens if I am in a chain?
A chain links your transaction to others, so everyone needs to be ready to exchange at roughly the same time. We stay in contact with the other solicitors and flag hold-ups as soon as they appear.
Do I need a solicitor to remortgage?
Yes. Even without a change of ownership, a solicitor deals with your lender’s legal requirements and registers the new mortgage once it completes.
What does conveyancing cost?
Costs vary by transaction type and property value. We provide clear estimates before any work begins.
