Other Services
We can act in conveyancing matters throughout the Country and can deal with a wide and varied amount of transactions including:
Residential Tenancy Agreements
We offer comprehensive auction legal packs for sellers. We can assess and provide advice regarding auction legal packs to prospective purchasers before attending auction.
Commercial Lease/Assignments
We have the expertise and experience acting for both landlord and tenants in all aspects of commercial property leases. This is an area where it is always worth taking knowledgeable legal advice – leases for commercial property are often relatively complex and it is important that you fully understand the implications and obligations, in order to avoid costly mistakes.
Certain documents need to be sworn before a qualified legal person known as a Commissioner for Oaths. We can provide these services for you.
You may be required to swear an affidavit, or statutory declaration which is a sworn statement of evidence made before a commissioner of oaths or a solicitor.
If you are a Housing Association tenant, under the Right to Buy scheme, you can purchase your home at a lower price than the full market value. The length of your tenancy at the property to date may entitle you to a discount.
This can be a complicated process and there is no substitute for professional conveyancing advice. With wide-ranging expertise within Right to Buy transactions, Dean Conveyancing is an ideal choice.
We provide a complete conveyancing service for council tenants choosing to exercise their Right to Buy, where quality is paramount as is client care and value for money.
If you are thinking about buying your Council home, please contact us for further information and advice.
We store deeds and other property related documents in safe custody for our clients, if required. We do not make a storage charge.
With the introduction of Home Information Packs (HIPs) if we already hold your deeds and documents this will assist us in producing the pack even more quickly than we would otherwise.
Sometimes we find that the legal title to a property is defective if certain rights are not contained in the title deeds.
In many cases these rights are a necessity, such as the right to use drainage that runs through a neighbour’s property, or perhaps the right to use an access road to reach the property.
We can deal with all issues related to the granting of rights from the initial drafting of the documents to the final updating of the legal title to the property with the Land Registry.
Please contact us to discuss your requirements.
Residential Tenancy Agreements
We provide comprehensive advice on all forms of residential tenancy agreements, acting for both landlords and tenants.
We are happy to speak to both landlords and tenants who may wish to have a tenancy agreement drawn up or discuss an existing agreement.
We also assist landlords in obtaining an Energy Performance Certificate and can offer advice regarding tenancy deposit protection.
The law in respect of restrictive covenants can be complex and confusing. Restrictive Covenants are often imposed by a seller on the land being sold to prevent the buyer from using it in a way which the seller feels could cause harm to land which the seller has retained. Dean Conveyancing can advise you whether you have the benefit of a Restrictive Covenant or if you are subject to the burden of such a Restrictive Covenant.
Please contact us to discuss your requirements.
The Shared Ownership Scheme is a scheme that enables buyers to get on the first rung of the property ladder. We are experienced in dealing with shared ownership properties, whether you wish to buy or sell a shared ownership property or buy a further share of a shared ownership property that you already own.

A transfer of equity means a change in the legal ownership of a property without necessarily a sale of the property itself. The equity refers to the value of the property after repayment of any loan. Transfer of Equity often happens when two people decide to live together in a home already belonging to one of the couple. Sometimes transfers of equity are for other reasons such as tax planning or marital break up.
We are experienced in handling the various situations in which transfers of equity can occur.
At Dean Conveyancing we feel that part of our professional advice to clients should be that, when it comes to protecting what is for the majority of us our most valuable asset, having the legal title to the property registered at the Land Registry is very important.
The Land Registry currently offers 25% discount on voluntary first-time registrations, and their fee is based on the value of your land.
Contact us for help with registering your land. Even you do not have your deeds, or think you may have difficulty proving your title, we can help.
