Conveyancing is the legal process of transferring ownership of a property from one person to another. A solicitor ensures the transaction is legally sound, carries out vital checks, protects your interests, and helps you complete the process securely and on time.

First home schemes are initiatives like Shared Ownership, Lifetime ISAs, and the First Homes Scheme that help first-time buyers purchase property. They aim to address common challenges like raising a large deposit or affording mortgage payments. Contact Lyons Bowe to learn more about these schemes and how we can assist with the legal process.

The best length to fix your mortgage depends on your individual circumstances, risk tolerance, and financial goals. Short-term fixes (2-5 years) may have lower initial rates but offer less long-term security. Longer-term fixes (5+ years) provide payment stability but might mean missing out if rates fall. Consider your financial situation and seek advice from a mortgage adviser.

We offer transparent fixed-fee pricing for most property transactions. You can get an instant, detailed estimate online with no hidden costs — giving you full clarity before you instruct us. Click on "Get Estimate".

Definitely! However, when buying a new built you need to be aware that the buyers of your current property may not be comfortable with a completion on notice. You may want to consider “breaking the chain” i.e. selling your property before you complete on your new build. This may mean temporarily moving into rented accommodation.

If you are purchasing your property with a mortgage, property searches will be a requirement of the lender. If you are a cash buyer, then property searches aren’t a requirement but we strongly recommend that you take out property searches and a survey. Together, these precautions will help to mitigate the risk of running into unsuspected issues later down the line.

The Lyons Bowe Abortive Pledge covers your legal fees should your transaction fall through for any reason outside of your control. If your transaction falls through due to no fault of your own, your legal fees will be covered. All you will need to pay for is the disbursements you’ve already incurred up until that point (like searches) which will be outlined in your fee estimate.

Most property transactions complete within 8–12 weeks, but timings can vary. At Lyons Bowe, our structured teams, smart technology, and proactive updates help keep your transaction moving and avoid unnecessary delays.
