SOUTH WALES CONVEYANCER

Award Winning Blogger

Emma Selfridge Lawyer Ltd - Award Winning Blog

Why did I create the Blog?

I hope my Property & Conveyancing Blog will be educational and help the public to understand the conveyancing process.

It is your Go to Guide, full of Essential Advice & Insights, for all homebuyers, home sellers and homeowners. It is also a useful tool for anyone involved in the conveyancing profession.

Lenders insist on conveyancers being involved so they can be sure the property is adequate security for their loan and there are no legal defects. This is why we do what we do.

I sincerely hope this Blog goes some way towards demystifying the conveyancing process.
