Property advice, news and tips

 
At SAM Conveyancing we have put all of our years of experience and conveyancing know how into free easy to read articles to help home buyers or home owners. We explain conveyancing jargon in a way that makes sense so you know what to do. If you have a question that relates to property then we will have written about it; lease extension, collective enfranchisement, buying or selling a property, home buyers survey, property valuations and even negotiating a property purchase price.

We are a one stop shop for conveyancing, mortgages or surveys all under one roof. Alongside our free online articles and downloads we also have a panel of conveyancing solicitors, RICS Building Surveyors, structural engineers, mortgage brokers and tax accountants.

Please click, read and enjoy. If you get stuck or need any help then call us and speak to a friendly member of the SAM Conveyancing team - 0333 344 3234 (local call charges).
