Residential conveyancing

There is very little our residential conveyancing department doesn’t know about Sheffield and its property market.

In fact, having bought and sold many of the same properties several times over, you could say we have insider knowledge that will help you make that important completion – hassle free.

Taylor&Emmet is proud to be among the first solicitors in Sheffield to be accredited to the Conveyancing Quality Scheme, an initiative run by the Law Society to recognise professional excellence and demonstrate the credibility of members. We are also one of the only regional firms to be accepted into the Conveyancing Association, which gives us a unique opportunity to help shape the future of industry.

Talk to any of the thousands of local residents that have used Taylor&Emmet’s conveyancing department and you will understand why we are proud of our reputation and of the great service we deliver, in a friendly and uncomplicated way and at a competitive price.

Common questions

Moving house?

My partner and I are moving house for the first time and we are finding the whole process very confusing. What are the main things we need to concentrate on?

Exchanging extracts?

My solicitor tells me that we have not yet exchanged contracts on the sale of my property. What could be holding it up?

Service charges?

I am buying a flat and have been advised to check how much the service charge amounts to. Can you explain what a service charge is?

Planning permission?

The property I am buying has planning permission for a large extension. Can I take advantage of the planning permission and build the extension after I purchase the property?
