Property Advice
For most of us, buying or selling our home is likely to be the largest personal financial transaction we will make, so it's vital to secure the very best advice possible.

Your solicitor is the best place to get that advice. A solicitor can deal with all aspects of your purchase and sale, including the legal transfer of title - called 'conveyancing' in Scotland - estate agency, and arranging a mortgage and insurances. By dealing with the many disparate parts of your transaction together, the opportunities for problems to arise are kept to a minimum. Communication is the key and is the reason why so many transactions where the conveyancing, mortgage and insurances are dealt with by different companies encounter last minute hitches, usually just as you're setting off in convoy with the furniture van.

The advice offered in these pages is intended to do no more than highlight some of the considerations you should bear in mind. In all cases, you should seek advice specific to your own circumstances from your own solicitor. If you don't have a solicitor in North East Fife already, please do contact one of our members.

Be smart ... consult an FSPC solicitor first.
