Watch Our Video Guide to Conveyancing

For a quick guide to residential conveyancing, watch our video podcast.

We have produced a video podcast, in which host Danny Lawrence talks to Slee Blackwell conveyancing partner Brett Lawrence.

Danny and Brett discuss everything you might encounter during a property transaction and explain the role the solicitor plays.

✔️ Who does what when you buy or sell — estate agents, mortgage brokers, and solicitors.
✔️ How much should you really budget for? (including those sneaky extra costs)
✔️ The truth about conveyancing delays.
✔️ Searches and why they can hold things up.
✔️ Whether you have to use the estate agent’s recommended solicitor.
✔️ What happens if someone in the chain pulls out?
✔️ What your solicitor will — and won’t — do for you?
Offering simple explanations, practical tips, and a few real-world stories, this video podcast is a must for anyone contemplating buying or selling property.
