Contracts

When you agree to buy or sell a property in England or Wales, the law rules that a formal procedure needs to take place as part of the transfer of legal ownership from the seller to the buyer. This is called a conveyance.

There are a number of key steps which need to be carried out as part of a conveyance. All of them are designed to ensure that both parties in a transaction have all the key information they need about each other and the property to ensure they are making informed decisions.

Issuing and receiving a draft contract pack or the ‘contract papers’ is a key stage in a conveyance.
