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.

Sears we're great at booking in plenty of views for my house. Regular contact with feedback about the possible buyer and feedback following the view. Some support with negotiation and chasing up the person who made the offer too. Kept me updated as well. Cameron was our point of contact through most the process and was really helpful.

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 😀

We had a great experience with Sears Estate agents when buying our house in Wokingham. Hollie was a great help, patiently showing us around pretty much all of the properties they had listed and helping us figure out exactly what we wanted before we found the one we bought. Additionally, Matt the Sears Progressor was very effective in moving the chain forward and ensuring everything went as smoothly as buying a house can be. Overall, a really positive experience!

Sam Birkbeck

We recently moved into our new rented home and had a great experience with Sears Services. Our agent, Andrew, was extremely helpful and responsive. Whenever we had questions about paperwork or the property, he answered quickly and clearly. Andrew made the whole process smooth and stress-free. We are very happy with the service and highly recommend Sears Services!
