Our Conveyancing
Services
Freehold Sale
We deal with all aspects of a freehold sale from issuing the contract pack, dealing with enquiries and any associated conveyancing processes
Freehold Purchase
Most freehold purchases are straight forward. We deal with all aspects of these, from checking the title, raising enquiries and reporting to you
Leasehold sale
These are generally a lot more laborious that freehold sales, as in most cases, there are third party landlords, managing agents and management companies to deal with, but we will guide you through.
Leasehold Purchase
These are notoriously more complex than freehold purchases, as there is a lot more paperwork to go through (and a lot more legislation – more recently as a result of the cladding scandal and fire risk issues and remediation).
Re-Mortgage
We act for clients and lenders in connection with residential property remortgages, which is when you move your mortgage on your existing property, from one lender to another.
Transfer of Equity
This is when a property’s owner adds or removes a person (or people) to and from the title no the home, altering the ownership of the property from a legal perspective (sometimes subject to a mortgage, or remortgage, court order or with funds changing hands).
Why Choose Sumhowe?
Sarah and her team offer a 5* service, as can be evidenced on Trust Pilot, and have a long standing relationship and brilliant reputation with all local agents and clients
Sarah offers a flexible and bespoke service tailored for each client individually. Being an ex-Partner of a traditional firm, Sarah found that all too often, clients get caught up in the huge volumes that conveyancers of today take on and this has a knock on effect on service levels.
“All communication was professional and everyone I spoke to was friendly and very helpful. I would highly recommend Setfords, and would not hesitate to use them again.“
