Conveyancing Solicitors in Cheshire | Step Legal Solicitors

Our Conveyancing Services

There are two ways someone can transfer a property out of their name and into someone else’s name: a transfer of equity or a conventional sale.

Based in Cheshire, our productive and dedicated transfer of equity lawyers assist a wide range of clients and support them throughout their individual processes. From clients who have decided they want to change the ownership arrangements in respect of a property, either by taking a name off or by adding a name on, and whether it be via a partner-to-partner transfer for tax purposes, a transfer from parents to children to facilitate a planned inheritance or simply a wish between co-owners to transfer full ownership to just one of them, either by way of gift or in return for some form of consideration.

What is an unregistered property?

An unregistered property is owned, but hasn’t been registered with the Land Registry, meaning that the property’s details, documentation and ownership status can only be found in the Title Deeds. There are a few difficulties that may occur when you are looking to buy or sell an unregistered property, such as:

  • Finding who the legal owners are without a central record of the ownership to search for in the Land Registry
  • Proving who the legal owners are without a central record of the ownership to search for in the Land Registry

If you were looking to sell an unregistered property, the physical title deeds would need to be available to be passed on to the buyer’s conveyancer following the sale. With this transfer completed, the buyer would then be able to apply for the property to be registered. As the seller, you would also have to provide evidence of title to the buyer (via your conveyancer) by presenting documents proving physical ownership from the last 15 years up until the present day.

Our fantastic team of conveyancing specialists are experienced in the buying and selling of unregistered properties. Our conveyancers act as a reliable, trustworthy and productive helping hand while you go through this process.

Buying a property at auction comes with many advantages, such as a faster purchase process or winning a great deal on price. Another advantage is knowing for certain that once the hammer has fallen, the property will belong to the winning bidder – subject to them being able to pay a 10% deposit on the day the auction takes place and the balance of the agreed price within another 28 days.

We have experience in auction property services and can support you with each step of the process. We handle transactions of all sizes and will assist you with the property you are bidding for, whether it will take place in a matter of days, weeks or months.
