It is human nature to think “it will never happen to me”, but it is a sad fact of life that an increasing number of us may, at some point, have a loved one that may go into a residential care home or require care and support in their own home. This may be due to illness, old age or perhaps as the result of personal injury or an accident, and it often happens at the most inconvenient of times.
Making the move to your dream home can be both an exciting and stressful time, with a minefield of legal issues to navigate from title deeds to stamp duty. But our residential conveyancing experts can take care of all legal aspects and ensure a seamless move.
At Giles Wilson, our property experts can help buyers and sellers in all aspects of residential conveyancing, including freehold and leasehold property, registered and unregistered titles, remortgages and buy-to-let transactions. We're a member of the Law Society Conveyancing Quality Scheme, which means that we are listed on the solicitors panel of every high street lender. No matter what lender you choose to take out a mortgage with, they'll be more than happy to work with us.
What's more, we are able to register clients' titles with the Land Registry electronically. This means that we only incur half of the costs associated with postal registration – savings that we pass on to our clients – and registration only takes two hours instead of two weeks.
We recognise that buying a house is probably the biggest financial commitment you will ever make. That's why we strive to put you first, understand your needs, speak plainly and keep you up-to-date at all times throughout the process until successful completion.
With a wealth of experience handling properties throughout Southend and the South East Essex area, our conveyancing solicitors will endeavour to handle everything on your behalf.

Featured Insights
The headlines around inheritance tax following the budget were noisy on how farmers will be affected, on pension pots and on the fact that there is no rise on the nil rate band in the near future. However, in the small print there is an important change: that is the amount of interest charged on unpaid tax liabilities.
