1. What’s Property Law?
Property Law is all the transactions, dealings and contracts relating to personal or profitable residential and commercial properties. Before the auction hammer falls, the sold stickers are stuck, or the keys get handed over, there are many things to consider.
Conveyancing is the process of transferring property or real estate ownership – and this means getting qualified advice from a professional.

We like to think of it as less philosophical and more practical. Subject to finance, subject to a building inspection, subject to selling your property or a ‘cash offer’ where you are on the property ladder, your finances and other factors can determine the conditions you add. Each situation is as unique as a front door key, so it’s best to talk to us about specifics.
Jointly owned property means the survivor or survivors own the property on death of an owner.
Tenants in common means the share of the owner that dies passes to that owner's beneficiaries of the estate. Tenants in common can have unequal shares of the property.
No. A solicitor can only disapprove under such a clause for conveyancing reasons. That is if any of the clauses are inappropriate. Not an easy task with standard form agreements.
