Property conveyancing

Legal support that makes your move easier

Navigating the legal side of a property transaction can be complex, but it doesn’t need to be stressful. Whether you’re buying or selling, a trusted conveyancer is essential to handle the legal side of your move as this can speed up completion, prevent delays and ultimately give you peace of mind.

Our conveyancing service: simple, transparent & efficient

At Sears, we partner with a select group of respected local solicitors who share our commitment to clear communication and smooth transactions.

Working alongside our own dedicated sales progression team, your chosen solicitor will guide you from the moment your offer is accepted right through to registering the property with the Land Registry.

Both parties need a conveyancing solicitor, and each pays their own fees to ensure the process is properly managed.

Why choose us for your conveyancing?

We believe great service doesn’t stop at matching you with a solicitor. Here’s how we add value:

  • As your estate agents, we coordinate the process, linking you, your solicitor and other parties (buyer/seller, mortgage lender) so all communication remains clear
  • Our local knowledge means we understand the complexities of Berkshire property. Whether it’s a probate chain, leasehold flat or village family home, we know what to expect
  • We keep you informed: you’ll get regular progress updates tailored to your timeline and situation
  • Our service is built around your move: we work around your needs, not the timetable of the law firm

Get Sale Ready

By preparing key legal documents in advance, many of our sellers are able to reduce the typical completion time, often more than 20 weeks, to as little as 8–10 weeks.

Speak to us today to see how early preparation can keep your move on track.

We had a great experience with Jake as our property manager. He was professional, approachable, and always quick to respond whenever we had any questions or needed assistance. He made the whole process smooth and stress-free, keeping us informed every step of the way. His communication was clear, and any issues were handled efficiently and promptly. We really appreciated his support and would highly recommend renting with sears

Sears have been an incredible help throughout our search for a new property. I can't thank Kiera, Andy, and Jess enough for their patience, support, and dedication in helping us find the perfect home. Moving to a new area can be overwhelming and daunting, but they made the entire process so much easier. They were always available to answer questions, offer guidance, and support us every step of the way. Thank you, Kiera, Andy, and Jess, for your outstanding service and for making what could have been a stressful experience such a positive one. I would highly recommend Sears to anyone looking for a property!

Sears has been brilliant from the start. Every time the team called or emailed it has been for a genuine purpose or call to action, which is greatly appreciated! The team has been proactive and professional throughout the selling process, and always listened with intent to any of my own thoughts or questions.

I couldn’t have asked for a better experience so far with selling my apartment with Sears. This is the first time I have gone through selling a property and from the initial valuation with Harvey, the team have really put me at ease. They have been really friendly, professional, and knowledgeable with fantastic communication. Aimee and Poppy in particular have also gone over and above my expectations by leafleting/ door knocking down particular streets we are interested in purchasing from. I really cannot rate the team highly enough would recommend them to anyone looking for an estate agent.

I have just come out of a difficult divorce and was looking to purchase a house for myself and my children. The thought of viewing properties on my own was a bit daunting for me. I first made contact with Sears Estate agents in Wokingham a few months ago and viewed two properties that they were marketing. I met Poppy at both viewings, she was warm, friendly, and professional as well as being very knowledgeable about the properties. Unfortunately, I did not have a buyer for my property so was unable to put in an offer or purchase with Sears. However, I was very impressed that Poppy and her colleague Amy, acknowledged my property search and contacted me recently about another suitable property, before it was marketed live on websites. They were very efficient in arranging a viewing for me promptly. I was met at the property by Alison, who was again, very warm, friendly, welcoming, patient and open to questions. After the viewing, I went to Sears estate agents office in Wokingham town centre, where I was met in a friendly manner and offered a hot drink, which was a nice touch. Poppy assisted me with the administration involved in putting an offer forward, as I had unfortunately left my glasses in my car! She was very helpful and patient and explained how the process of putting the offer forward to the vendor worked. I was very impressed with the office layout, clean lines, modern decor and comfortable chairs. I would like to mention that I was very impressed with my experience with Sears, Wokingham, the staff are excellent role models and ambassadors for Sears, keep up the good work. Allison Radcliffe 😀
