What Is Conveyancing?

Conveyancing is the legal process of transferring Title Deeds and property ownership. In Scotland, this includes submitting a formal offer, concluding missives, and completing title registration. It’s a process that must be carried out by a qualified property solicitor to ensure your rights are upheld and the transaction is valid.

At Drummond Miller, we manage all aspects of the conveyancing journey - from legal documentation and communication with estate agents and lenders, to finalising contracts and registering ownership. You can trust us to handle the legal details, so you can focus on what matters most: your next chapter.

We are committed to making every part of your residential conveyancing experience straightforward and legally sound.
