If you're buying a home, your conveyancer will request paperwork & ID from you and liase with your seller, mortgage advisor and bank. They will also carry out local authority searches and schedule completion dates. At the end of the process, they will submit your tax return and pay your Stamp Duty to HMRC.

What is the conveyancing process when selling?

If you're just selling a property you’ll need to provide the same ID and paperwork, but you won't need any mortgage brokers or other third parties to be involved. Your conveyancing solicitor will request you fill out a TA6 Property information form, and a T10 Fittings and Contents form.
