Within our Equity Release Department we have specialists in Equity Release conveyancing who are able to assist in buying and selling using equity release to finance the move or who are transferring an existing scheme to a different property. This process is a complicated one due to the involvement of the equity release lender but our specialists are experienced in this area and are able to adeptly deal with any issues that may arise.
We are also able to extend your lease, be it through the informal process or statutory process in conjunction with your equity release as well as dealing with the purchase of your freehold.
