Conveyancing for buying & selling your home

When buying or selling a home, every decision matters. Our conveyancing solicitors work tirelessly to streamline your transaction, handling all legal aspects so you can focus on your move. We provide:

• Detailed contract reviews: Ensuring all terms are clear and protecting your interests.
• Thorough property searches: Identifying any risks, including planning issues, environmental factors, and local authority concerns.
• Communication with the chain: Managing negotiations and liaising with estate agents and other solicitors to keep the process moving.

We keep you informed at every stage, offering a dedicated point of contact for any questions you might have.

If you own a leasehold property, you may need assistance extending your lease or purchasing the freehold. This process can be daunting, but our team specialises in:

• Negotiating lease extensions: We help secure favourable terms, increasing your property’s value and reducing future costs.
• Freehold purchase & collective enfranchisement: Guiding you through buying the freehold of your property, whether individually or as part of a collective group of leaseholders.
• Right to Manage applications: Assisting with taking control of the management of your building without needing to purchase the freehold.

Our expertise in leasehold matters means you get the best possible outcome, even in complex cases.

Navigating government schemes can be tricky without the right legal guidance. At Anthony Gold Solicitors, we offer expert advice on:

• Right to buy: Helping council tenants purchase their home at a discounted rate, guiding you through the application and legal requirements.
• Shared ownership & shared equity transactions: Providing support for part-buy, part-rent schemes, ensuring you understand the terms and protecting your investment.

These schemes can be a great way to secure a property, but understanding the fine print is essential. We make sure you know your rights and obligations.

A transfer of equity involves changing the ownership structure of a property. Whether you’re adding a partner to the title, removing a name after a separation, or adjusting ownership shares, we handle:

• Title amendments: Updating the Land Registry records to reflect the new ownership.
• Mortgage lender communication: Coordinating with your mortgage provider to secure consent and manage any required changes.
• Stamp Duty Land Tax (SDLT) advice: Ensuring compliance with tax obligations and advising on potential liabilities.

Our efficient approach ensures minimal disruption during what can be an emotionally sensitive process.

If you’re considering refinancing your property, our solicitors can provide the legal support you need. We assist with:

• Reviewing mortgage offers: Ensuring the terms align with your financial goals.
• Coordinating with lenders: Facilitating the release of funds and managing the legal paperwork required for a smooth transaction.

Advising on loan agreements: Whether you’re taking out a personal loan against your property or securing a commercial mortgage, we provide clear, practical advice.

We understand that buying or selling a property is one of the most significant financial commitments you’ll make. That’s why we ensure your case is handled by a dedicated, experienced solicitor or legal executive.
