Property is often the most valuable asset you will own, and dealing with it requires careful legal guidance. At Howard & Co., we provide straightforward, professional advice on all types of property transactions — from moving home to remortgaging, transferring or gifting property. Our role is to make the process clear, efficient, and stress-free, while protecting your interests at every stage.
Whether you are purchasing your first home, moving to a new house, or selling a property, our conveyancing team will handle all the legal formalities. We carry out searches, draft and review contracts, liaise with lenders, and ensure the transfer of ownership is completed smoothly. Our goal is to make the moving process as simple and stress-free as possible.
Remortgaging can allow you to access better mortgage rates, release equity, or restructure your finances. We liaise with lenders, check the terms of your mortgage offer, and ensure all legal conditions are satisfied. By handling the process efficiently, we help you avoid delays and ensure your financial arrangements are secure.
There are many reasons you may wish to transfer a property into another person’s name — such as separation, marriage, or tax planning. We draft and review the necessary legal documentation, update the Land Registry, and ensure the transfer is completed correctly. Early advice can help avoid disputes and ensure the transfer reflects your intentions.
Gifting property to a family member or loved one can be an important part of future planning. We provide advice on the legal and tax implications, prepare the transfer documentation, and ensure the gift is validly completed. Our team will give you peace of mind that the process has been handled properly and your wishes are respected.
