Residential Property

Buying or Selling your home

Your home is one of the most important elements in your life, so it's hardly surprising that moving house ranks so highly on the list of life’s most stressful experiences.

Buying and selling residential property is also likely to be the largest investment you make.  Whether you are a first time buyer wanting to get on the property ladder, a seasoned buyer or a property developer you will want your transaction to be as trouble-free as possible.

Using a local solicitor

Using a solicitor local to the area in which you want to buy or sell makes the process smoother.  That’s where Ware & Kay can help you.  We have offices in York and Wetherby and considerable knowledge of the local property market. Our conveyancing solicitors have 88 years’ combined property experience.  As you can imagine, there isn’t much that they haven’t come across and their experience will be invaluable to you when it comes to your purchase or sale, whether this is freehold or leasehold property.

How we can help you?

We can help you with the following:

  • Sales and Purchases of houses, newly built homes, flats and building land
  • Buy to let
  • Co-ownership
  • Buying and Selling at auction
  • Re-mortgages, Second Mortgates and Equity Release Mortgages
  • Deeds of Gift
  • Transfers of Equity (including Transfers subject to Mortgage)

We understand that you want a personal approach from your Solicitor.  We can guide you through the maze of surveys, searches, title deeds, mortgage offers, contracts and broken housing chains, explaining every step and giving re-assurance. We will also keep you fully informed and do all we can to meet your important deadlines.

What should you do first?

You will no doubt want some preliminary advice on the legal process of buying or selling your house.  In order to plan effectively, you will also want to know how much your legal costs are likely to be.  This is why it is useful to get a quote early on.  Why not contact us for initial advice and an estimate of costs.  We will then provide a fully itemised written quotation of the costs and disbursements before you confirm instructions.
