I have been a client with Seddons for years and they are truly excellent. My lawyer Odein Willie-Harry is exceptional. She is knowledgeable, always available, kind and considerate and most of all a rock. Selling my house was stressful but the one thing I always knew is that I could rely on her advice and support. I can't thank her and the team enough. Happy New Year Seddons! I will be back when I find a new property 😌

Residential Real Estate FAQs

If you can’t find what you need, please contact us directly.

What is conveyancing?
Conveyancing is the legal process of transferring property ownership from one person to another. A solicitor handles the legal paperwork, searches, contract drafting and title transfer to ensure the sale or purchase is compliant and secure.
How long does a home purchase take?
Timescales vary depending on search results, mortgage approval and chain complexity, but a typical residential purchase can take 8–12 weeks from offer acceptance to completion.
What is a leasehold property?
A leasehold means you own the property for a set term but not the land it stands on. We advise on lease terms, extensions, ground rent issues and enfranchisement rights.
Can you help with boundary and title issues?
Yes. We assist with title defects, boundary disputes, rights of way and easements to clarify legal rights and protect your ownership interests.
What should I do when remortgaging?
When remortgaging, you’ll need legal support to manage lender requirements, documentation and transfer of charges. We ensure the process is handled efficiently.
Do you deal with new build purchases?
Yes. We advise on new build and off-plan contracts, helping you understand warranties, completion conditions and protections for new properties.
