Residential conveyancing in Bath
A property transaction involves more than signing a contract. RG Law supports clients in Bath and the wider BA postcode area by reviewing the legal title, dealing with searches and enquiries, coordinating with lenders and the other side’s lawyers, and preparing the matter for exchange and completion. We explain the important points in plain English and flag issues early so you can make informed decisions without being buried in legal jargon.
Property considerations in Bath
The property itself usually matters more than the postcode. A transaction in Bath may involve freehold or leasehold title, management-company information, service charges, alterations, rights of way, restrictive covenants, planning or building-regulation paperwork and lender-specific requirements. We identify which points are relevant to your property and explain what needs to be resolved before you commit.

• Selling a home, including transactions in a chain

Your Conveyancing Journey
1. Instruct RG Law: Tell us whether you are buying, selling, remortgaging or changing ownership, and give us the property and estate-agent details.
2. ID & Source of Funds: We complete the required identity checks and, where relevant, obtain the information needed about deposit funds and the source of money for the transaction.
3. Contracts & Searches: We obtain or prepare the contract papers, review the legal title and arrange the appropriate searches for a purchase.
4. Legal Enquiries: We raise or answer the necessary enquiries, deal with lender requirements and work through any title, leasehold or property-document issues.
5. Exchange of Contracts: Once the legal work, mortgage position, deposit and dates are ready, contracts can be exchanged and the completion date becomes legally binding.
6. Completion: Funds are transferred, the transaction completes and we deal with the remaining post-completion work, including registration where required.
Frequently Asked Questions – Bath
Can you act on leasehold properties?
Yes. Leasehold transactions can involve the lease itself, service charges, ground rent, management-company information, building insurance and replies to the standard leasehold enquiries. We review the documents, explain the important terms and chase outstanding management information where necessary.
What can cause a conveyancing transaction to slow down?
Common causes include delays elsewhere in a chain, outstanding searches or enquiries, mortgage-offer requirements, missing title documents, leasehold management packs, source-of-funds information or issues discovered in the legal paperwork. We keep outstanding items visible and explain what is holding the matter up.
When should I instruct a conveyancer?
As early as possible. Sellers can instruct before a buyer is found so the initial paperwork can be prepared. Buyers should usually instruct once an offer is accepted, or earlier if they want the onboarding and identification steps ready to go. Early instruction can remove avoidable delay at the start.
Can RG Law help with a remortgage or transfer of equity?
Yes. We can deal with remortgages and transfers of equity, including matters where an owner is being added or removed. The exact legal steps depend on the title, mortgage arrangements and whether any payment is being made between the parties.
What information do you need to get started?
Start with the property address, whether you are buying, selling, remortgaging or changing ownership, the estate-agent details if there is an agent, and any mortgage or target-date information you already have. We will then tell you what identification, source-of-funds and property documents are required.
