Why it matters who handles your purchase
Buying a property is one of the largest financial commitments most people make. Volume conveyancing firms process hundreds of transactions simultaneously. Your matter is one of many. At PDA Law, your purchase is handled by a qualified solicitor who knows your file.
Title investigation
We review the title to the property, raise enquiries with the seller's solicitors, and report to you on anything that needs your attention — in plain English.
Searches
We carry out local authority, drainage, and environmental searches. We will advise you on any issues revealed and what they mean for your purchase — before you are committed.
Mortgage reporting
If you are purchasing with a mortgage, we act for your lender as well as you. We review the mortgage offer and report to you on its conditions.
Exchange and completion
We handle exchange of contracts and completion — including transferring funds, registering the title at Land Registry, and submitting your SDLT return.
How the purchase process works
Instruction
You instruct us once your offer is accepted. We send you a client care letter confirming our fees and terms before any work begins.
Investigation
We obtain the draft contract from the seller's solicitors, carry out searches, and raise enquiries. We report to you on the results in plain English.
Exchange
Once all enquiries are resolved and your mortgage offer is in place, we exchange contracts. The transaction becomes legally binding at this point.
Completion
On completion day, we transfer the purchase funds and you receive the keys. We then register the title in your name at Land Registry.
Fees & Transparency
We publish typical fees and explain what is included and what may not be included. All fee information is on our dedicated Fees & Transparency page — we do not hard-code prices on this page. Your exact quote is confirmed in writing before any work begins.
