It is universally recognised that moving house is one of the most stressful periods in a person’s life and we undertake to ensure that our legal assistance reduces the anxiety rather than add to it. We also realise that the purchase of a house is the largest single financial responsibility that is undertaken by most people today. There are many complex aspects to buying or selling property but we ensure that all the work we undertake upon your behalf is explained in a straightforward and accessible matter so that you are kept fully appraised of all developments.

When selling a house upon your behalf we shall

  • obtain your Title Deeds;
  • prepare the Contract;
  • apply for the relevant Property Certificates and Searches and furnish these to the Purchaser;
  • approve the Transfer Deed;
  • obtain a redemption figure from your Lender;
  • pay the remainder of your existing mortgage to your Lender and supervise completion.

When buying a house upon your behalf we shall

  • investigate the Title supplied; scrutinise the Searches and Property Certificates;
  • draft the appropriate Transfer Deed;
  • check your Offer of Mortgage to ensure that it is as you agreed with your Lender;
  • request the completion funds from your Lender;
  • supervise completion;
  • attend to the relevant Registration of your ownership and ensure that stamp duty is paid, if applicable.

We were one of the very first firms in Northern Ireland to invest in a computerised case management system that allows us to deal with your property transaction in a swift and cost-efficient manner.

We will provide you with a clear written quotation at the outset of the transaction along with a leaflet which will outline the process ahead. Please contact Peter Donaldson (peterd@donaldson-mcconnell.com) or Margarita Sloane (margaritas@donaldson-mcconnell.com) to obtain a quotation or to simply discuss your potential move.

Northern Ireland Co-Ownership Housing Association Limited

The NI Co-Ownership Housing Association Ltd gives people who otherwise could not afford it the chance to own a home of their own. Co-Ownership is a government-funded low cost home ownership scheme for Northern Ireland that works through 'equity sharing'. You can part buy of you home (50%,62.5% or 75 % ) and then rent the remainder of property from Co – Ownership.

We are authorised by the NICOHAL as Panel Members and can therefore act on your behalf should you be considering purchasing through Co-ownership. We can also act should you be selling your home or buying NICOHAL share from your home.
