Our commitment to you and your home

When someone buys or sells a family home, there’s a lot of emotion involved. This might be a family home that you’ve lived in for years, or it might be a home that you’re buying for your family to live in for the foreseeable future. Either way, you need to know that the whole conveyancing process is in the hands of experienced property lawyers who will ensure that you get to completion without any problems.

That’s what you’ll get at Nash & Co Solicitors. Our lawyers have years of experience dealing with high-value property conveyancing, and the issues that some properties come with that perhaps need a little more care and attention. These can include boundaries, age and size of the property, the grounds that come with it, the property location, architectural features or even the complexities in the title paperwork itself.

Announcement - Conveyancing

To maintain the very high standards of our client service and quality of work, our Residential Conveyancing team has temporarily paused accepting new work. Our current clients deserve our full attention, and we don’t want to compromise their experience by overloading ourselves.

We will review the situation on the 7th May, 2024.

What do you need to consider when choosing a law firm?

When you’re dealing with high-value property, choosing a Conveyancing Solicitor to act on your behalf is a big step. They need to have the necessary experience, offer market leading client service, and so many other things. Here are some of the key points to consider when you’re picking a Solicitor:

  • Experience: it’s important to ensure the Solicitor specialises in property law, and particularly in high-value transactions. Experienced solicitors will be more familiar with the complexities and potential challenges involved.

  • Reputation & Reviews: you can get a sense of the Solicitor themselves and the firm as a whole, by researching reviews and testimonials from previous clients through sites such as Google Reviews and reviewsolicitors.co.uk.

  • Communication Skills: Effective and clear communication is crucial. Your Solicitor should be easily accessible, willing to explain legal terms and processes in understandable language and they should keep you informed of progress throughout the transaction. You should never need to chase a Solicitor - they should be proactively updating you throughout.

  • Fees and Costs: Understand the fee structure involved. Solicitors may charge flat fees, hourly rates, or a percentage of the property value. Ensure there are no hidden costs and ask about potential additional expenses like search fees and stamp duty. When it comes to your home, you want to make sure you’re properly protected throughout the conveyancing process, so we’d recommend that you don’t settle for the cheapest on offer. A more personalised service from experienced lawyers with excellent local knowledge is going to be worth paying that bit extra for. But ensure that you are very aware of the fee structure for the conveyancing work before you start.

  • Professional Network: A good Solicitor will often has a network of contacts, such as surveyors, estate agents, accountants and financial advisors, all of which could be beneficial throughout at various stages of property transactions.

  • Personal Rapport: Finally, it's important to feel comfortable with your Solicitor. A good professional relationship can make the process smoother and more efficient.

Frequently asked questions

  • A high-value property is typically defined by its market price, which is significantly above the average price for a property. However, valuation is not solely about price. High-value properties often include unique features such as historical significance, luxury amenities, architectural uniqueness, expansive land, or a desirable location. The threshold for what constitutes "high value" can vary by region and market conditions but generally refers to properties in the top percentile of the market.

  • Yes, the conveyancing process for a high-value property can often be longer and more complex than for standard properties. This is due to several factors, including the need for detailed due diligence, the negotiation of bespoke contracts, the involvement of multiple parties (such as banks, surveyors, and local authorities), and sometimes, international considerations. High-value transactions may also involve more extensive checks on the property's history, title, and potential disputes to ensure the investment is secure.

    However, with support from an experienced Conveyancer, they can ensure the process is as efficient and smooth as possible.

  • Using a conveyancing app for high-value property transactions offers several benefits, including enhanced efficiency, transparency, and communication. These apps can streamline the conveyancing process by providing real-time updates, secure document exchange, and a centralised platform for all parties involved in the transaction. For high-value properties, where the stakes and complexities are higher, such apps can significantly reduce the risk of delays and miscommunication, ensuring a smoother transaction process.

  • Buying a high-value property involves several specific legal considerations, including but not limited to, thorough due diligence on the property's title, checking for any restrictive covenants or easements, understanding local zoning laws, and ensuring compliance with tax regulations. High-value properties may also require specialised contracts that address unique features or agreements, such as maintenance of historical features or access rights. Additionally, international buyers may face further legal considerations related to foreign ownership laws and tax implications.

  • Environmental and planning permissions play a crucial role in high-value property transactions. These factors can significantly impact the property's value, usability, and potential for future development. For example, a property may be subject to environmental protection laws that restrict alterations, or there may be planning permissions required for any intended development or renovation. Failure to comply with these regulations can result in legal challenges, fines, or a decrease in the property's value, making it essential to conduct thorough checks and obtain necessary permissions as part of the conveyancing process.

  • A detailed valuation is critical for high-value properties due to their unique characteristics and the significant investment involved. An accurate valuation helps ensure that buyers are making a sound investment and that sellers are receiving a fair price. It considers factors such as the property's location, size, history, architectural significance, and market trends. For buyers, a detailed valuation is essential for securing financing, negotiating the purchase price, and assessing potential for appreciation. For sellers, it helps in setting a competitive yet fair market price, attracting the right buyers, and streamlining the sales process.
