Clear, Trusted Guidance for One of Life’s Biggest Milestones​

​

Buying or selling a home is one of the most important financial and personal decisions you’ll make. It’s an exciting time, but also one that comes with legal responsibilities, deadlines, and plenty of paperwork. At J.V. Geary Solicitors, we’re here to guide you through each step of the conveyancing process — from first contact to final keys — ensuring everything is done correctly, efficiently, and with your interests fully protected.

​

Whether you're a first-time buyer, selling the family home, downsizing, or purchasing an investment property, we make the process as smooth and stress-free as possible.

​

Common Client Scenarios We Assist With

We have extensive experience supporting individuals and families at every stage of the property journey, including:

• First-Time Buyers: We walk you through every step and explain everything clearly so you feel secure and informed — even if it’s your first experience with property law.

• Upsizing Families: We coordinate simultaneous sales and purchases to help your move go smoothly, managing timelines and resolving any issues that arise.

• Downsizing & Retirement Moves: We help make these often emotional transitions easier with straightforward legal support and clear, respectful guidance.

• Investment Property Buyers: We handle the additional complexities of investment purchases, including title review, tenancy concerns, and planning checks.

 

We also regularly assist with purchases of holiday homes, inherited property sales, and relocations from abroad.

How We Help With Your Property Transaction

Whether buying or selling, we provide a full suite of conveyancing services including:

• Pre-Contract Advice: We review the agreement from the outset, advise on any concerns, and gather essential documents to prepare for a clean, prompt process.

• Contract Review & Negotiation: We handle all aspects of contract preparation or review, ensure your rights are protected, and negotiate terms where needed.

• Title Investigation & Searches: We ensure the title is clean, conduct planning and legal searches, and resolve any issues before they delay your transaction.

• Liaising With Banks & Agents: We coordinate directly with lenders, estate agents, and other solicitors to keep the process moving and reduce your workload.

• Signing & Closing: We prepare the required documents, oversee the final exchange of contracts and funds, and ensure everything is legally complete.

• Post-Completion Work: We handle all Land Registry updates, mortgage registrations, and Revenue obligations like Stamp Duty filings on your behalf.

 

From beginning to end, we make sure everything is handled with diligence, attention to detail, and complete transparency.
