Residential conveyancing in Guildford
Residential conveyancing can feel complicated because several parties often need to move at the same time. RG Law supports clients in Guildford and the wider GU postcode area with a structured process from first instruction to completion. We review the paperwork, raise and answer enquiries, deal with searches and lender requirements where relevant, and keep you updated on what is complete, what is outstanding and what needs to happen next.
Property considerations in Guildford
Every property has its own legal history. When acting on a transaction in Guildford, we may need to consider the title, boundaries, access rights, covenants, lease terms, service charges, planning documents, building works or lender conditions. Our role is to separate routine paperwork from the issues that could affect your ownership, mortgage or future sale.
How We Can Help
• Buying a freehold or leasehold property
• Selling a home, including transactions in a chain
• Remortgages and lender legal requirements
• Transfers of equity, including adding or removing an owner

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 – Guildford
Can you guarantee a completion date?
A target date can be discussed and worked towards, but completion cannot usually be guaranteed until the legal work is complete and the parties in the chain are ready to exchange. We will tell you if a proposed date looks unrealistic and explain what still needs to happen.
Can I use RG Law if I do not live in Guildford?
Yes. Your own home address does not need to be in Guildford. We can act where the property transaction falls within the work we undertake in England and Wales, and most communication can be handled remotely with the required identity and compliance checks completed as part of the onboarding process.
Do I need a local conveyancer for a property in Guildford?
Not necessarily. RG Law can handle residential conveyancing across England and Wales without you needing to attend an office for routine stages. We communicate by phone and email, complete the required identity and source-of-funds checks, and coordinate directly with estate agents, lenders and the other side’s lawyers.
Can RG Law deal with both my sale and my purchase?
Yes. If you are selling one property and buying another, we can manage both matters and coordinate the key stages. Where there is a chain, we keep the legal position and proposed dates under review and communicate with the relevant parties as the transaction progresses.
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.
