Searches, contract reviews, title checks, lender requirements and correspondence between solicitors all need to be managed carefully and in sequence. A slow or disorganised conveyancer can cost you a sale.
Hine Solicitors handles residential conveyancing for clients in Swindon, Royal Wootton Bassett, Wroughton, Highworth and Purton. Our property team manages the full legal process for buying, selling, remortgaging and transfers of equity, working with you from instruction through to completion.
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 that needs attention. We act for you as the buyer. Exchange and completion only happen when you are ready to proceed.
When you are selling, we prepare the contract pack, respond to buyer enquiries and keep your side of the transaction moving. Delays at the legal stage are one of the most common causes of chain problems, and a hold-up anywhere in a chain creates knock-on pressure for everyone else in it. We make a point of responding promptly.
If you are remortgaging to release equity or switch to a better rate, we handle the legal side. In many cases we can act for both you and your lender, which means one set of paperwork and one point of contact rather than two. We keep things on track so timing works in your favour.
If you need to add or remove a name from a property title, we advise on the right approach and make sure the right protections are in place before anything is registered. Even where everyone agrees on what should happen, it needs to be done carefully and in the right order.

How long does conveyancing take?
It depends on the chain, when your mortgage offer comes through and how quickly local authority searches are returned. We flag anything likely to cause a delay as early as we can and keep you updated throughout.
What happens if I am in a chain?
Your transaction is linked to others, so everyone needs to be ready to exchange around the same time. We stay in contact with the other solicitors in the chain 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 handles your lender’s legal requirements and registers the new mortgage once it completes.
What does a conveyancer cost?
Costs vary by transaction type and value. We provide clear estimates before starting and explain exactly what is covered.
