Glossary of Conveyancing Terms

What is Conveyancing?

Conveyancing is a term given to the legal process of transferring ownership of a property from one person to another. This process is usually carried out by a solicitor or a licensed conveyancer. The buyer needs to ensure that they get good 'title' to the land; i.e., that the person selling the house actually has the right to sell it. The system of Conveyancing is designed to ensure that the buyer gets the land together with all the rights that go with it, and knows about any restrictions in advance.
