The Right Solicitor for Your Property Journey
Buying or selling a property is one of the biggest financial decisions you’ll make, and having the right legal team by your side can make all the difference.
At EO Estate Agents, we want to make your property journey as straightforward and stress-free as possible. That’s why we’ve partnered with Kingsley Bond Solicitors, a specialist legal practice offering clear, practical advice and dedicated support throughout the conveyancing process.
Whether you’re buying your first home, selling a property, purchasing an investment or remortgaging, Kingsley Bond can provide the legal expertise and guidance you need at every stage.
Specialist Property Expertise
With a dedicated residential property team, Kingsley Bond handles a wide range of transactions, from straightforward residential sales and purchases to more complex property matters.
Why do I need a solicitor when buying or selling a property?
A solicitor or licensed conveyancer manages the legal aspects of your property transaction, ensuring that all necessary checks, searches and contracts are completed correctly. They will review the legal title, raise enquiries, liaise with the other party’s solicitor and manage the transfer of funds and ownership through to completion.
Why do EO Estate Agents recommend Kingsley Bond?
We understand how important it is to have the right legal support when buying or selling a property. We recommend Kingsley Bond for their property expertise, approachable service and commitment to guiding clients through the conveyancing process. Working with a solicitor who understands the property transaction process can also help ensure communication remains clear between everyone involved.
Clear and Approachable Advice
Property transactions can involve unfamiliar legal terms and processes. Kingsley Bond focuses on providing clear communication and practical guidance, helping clients understand what’s happening at every stage.
When should I instruct a solicitor?
Ideally, you should instruct a solicitor as soon as you begin seriously considering a property purchase or have accepted an offer on a property you’re selling. Getting the legal process underway early can help avoid unnecessary delays once a sale is agreed. If you’re buying, it’s also useful to have your solicitor ready before making an offer.
Can I use the same solicitor for buying and selling a property?
Yes, many people choose to use the same solicitor for both transactions when moving home. This can make it easier to coordinate the legal work, particularly when you’re buying and selling as part of a property chain. Your solicitor can manage both transactions and help coordinate exchange and completion dates.
A Client-Focused Approach
With an emphasis on individual circumstances, the team aims to provide tailored advice, transparent fees and support from instruction through to completion.
Can I use Kingsley Bond if I'm buying a property through EO Estate Agents?
Yes. If you’re buying or selling a property through EO Estate Agents, we can introduce you to Kingsley Bond for your conveyancing requirements. You are, of course, free to choose your own solicitor, but we’re happy to help make an introduction if you’d like to use our recommended partner.
What is included in conveyancing?
Conveyancing covers the legal transfer of property ownership. This typically includes reviewing contracts, conducting property searches, checking the legal title, raising and responding to enquiries, arranging the exchange of contracts and completing the transfer of ownership. Your solicitor will also manage the necessary funds and register the property in your name following completion.
Support Throughout Your Property Journey
From the initial paperwork to exchange and completion, Kingsley Bond can manage the legal aspects of your transaction and liaise with the relevant parties.
How long does the conveyancing process take?
The time it takes to complete a property transaction can vary depending on the complexity of the sale or purchase, property searches, mortgage arrangements and whether there is a chain involved. A straightforward transaction may take around 8–16 weeks, although some can take longer. Your solicitor will keep you updated on progress and advise you of any potential delays.
