CONVEYANCING & ESTATE AGENCY SERVICES
Conveyancing & Estate Agency Services
Buying or selling a property is one of the most important financial decisions you’ll ever make. At Pomphreys, we offer a complete conveyancing and estate agency service that covers every stage of your journey, whether you’re getting onto the property ladder, moving home, or releasing equity through re-mortgaging. With offices in Wishaw, our team of expert conveyancing solicitors offers local knowledge, practical advice, and personal attention to ensure your transaction runs smoothly from start to finish.
As estate agents and solicitors, we can also help you prepare your home for sale and market it effectively. Our integrated approach means fewer delays, better communication, and a more straightforward experience, whether you’re a first-time buyer or a seasoned property investor.
BUYING A HOUSE IN SCOTLAND
Purchasing a home is a major milestone, and the legal process in Scotland can be complex. At Pomphreys, we make sure your interests are protected every step of the way. From submitting a note of interest and reviewing the Home Report to negotiating the missives and completing the transaction, we guide you through the legal journey with clarity and care.
We also carry out detailed checks on title, boundaries, planning permissions, and property searches to ensure there are no hidden problems. You’ll receive regular updates and clear explanations in plain English, so you always know where things stand. Whether you’re a first-time buyer or moving up the ladder, our goal is to make your purchase as straightforward and stress-free as possible.
SELLING A HOUSE IN SCOTLAND
Selling a property involves more than just finding a buyer. We will handle the legal process carefully to avoid delays and ensure a successful conclusion. At Pomphreys, we manage the sale from start to finish, handling the missives, preparing the title deeds, and answering any legal questions raised by the buyer’s solicitor.
We’ll also help you gather any necessary consents or certificates — such as planning permissions or building warrants — and flag any issues early on. Our efficient approach helps avoid last-minute surprises and keeps your sale moving. If we’re also acting as your estate agent, everything is under one roof, making your move even smoother.
RE-MORTGAGE A HOUSE
Re-mortgaging your home may help you access better rates or release equity, but it still involves legal work to transfer the title and finalise the loan. At Pomphreys, we liaise with your lender, complete the necessary checks, and register the new mortgage promptly and efficiently.
We’ll also ensure you understand the implications of any changes, particularly if you’re switching lenders or increasing your borrowing against the property. Our approach is prompt, transparent and efficient — designed to make re-mortgaging a smooth and stress-free experience.
ESTATE AGENCY
As both solicitors and estate agents, we offer a joined-up service that simplifies the property process. We’ll provide an honest valuation, arrange professional photographs and floor plans, and create a strong online presence for your property — all backed by our local market knowledge in Wishaw and the surrounding areas.
Our team takes the time to understand your needs and keep you informed at every stage. We don’t believe in one-size-fits-all selling — we believe in personal service and attention to detail. With Pomphreys, you’re not just another listing — you’re a client with a goal, and we’re here to help you achieve it.
LETTING SERVICES
Letting out property can be a rewarding investment, but it comes with legal responsibilities. We assist landlords with everything from preparing tenancy agreements and checking compliance with deposit schemes to providing guidance on notices and evictions.
We stay up to date with ever-changing lettings legislation in Scotland, so you don’t have to. Whether you’re a first-time landlord or managing multiple properties, we’ll give you the confidence that your lettings are legally compliant and professionally managed.
EQUITY RELEASE
Equity release allows homeowners, usually later in life, to access the value tied up in their property. However, it’s a significant decision that necessitates thorough legal advice. At Pomphreys, we’ll explain how equity release works, review your lender’s documentation, and make sure you understand the full implications, including the impact on your estate and any future care needs.
We take the time to talk things through with you and your family, ensuring everyone feels confident and informed. Equity release isn’t right for everyone, but if it is the right choice for you, we’ll help you proceed with complete peace of mind.
