What Our Clients Say
Frank Benson
I would like to give thanks to Kaur Sutherland conveyance team for working tirelessly to get this commercial conveyancing deal over the line. This would have been impossible without them. Job well done
Joan Leong
We used Kaur Sutherland for the purchase of our forever home. They communicated a lot through email which was great because we’re busy and not always able to answer phone calls or stop by the office. It helped keep us all in the loop. They were easy to work with and we had no issues closing the sale. A fantastic experience from start to finish.
Adam Samuels
We would highly recommend Kaur Sutherland for all your conveyancing needs. Very competitively priced and very responsive if you have any questions throughout the process. Thanks again Claire and Shannon for all the hard work you put in!

Frequently Asked Questions
What exactly is conveyancing in Scots Law?
Conveyancing is the legal process of transferring property ownership from a seller to a buyer. It begins when an offer is accepted and concludes when the keys are handed over to the new owner. Conveyancers, often solicitors, handle this process.
Key steps include:
- Preparation of documents: The solicitor drafts all necessary legal documents.
- Conducting searches: Various checks, such as local authority and property condition searches, ensure there are no legal or structural issues.
- Exchanging missives: The buyer and seller’s solicitors exchange letters (missives) to form a binding contract. Once missives are concluded, neither party can withdraw without liability.
- Inspecting deeds: The buyer’s solicitor verifies the seller’s ownership and checks for any unusual conditions or restrictions.
- Providing a home report: The seller must supply this report to buyers, which includes a survey, energy assessment, and questionnaire. Your solicitor will also review this.
Throughout the process, solicitors communicate to negotiate terms and resolve any issues, ensuring a smooth transfer of ownership.
How long does the conveyancing process take?
The conveyancing process is typically estimated to take around 8 weeks, but this timeline can vary. At Kaur Sutherland, we’ve successfully completed transactions in as little as 4-6 weeks when both parties’ solicitors are proactive and no significant issues arise.
The common causes of delays include:
- Waiting for paperwork or local authority searches: These essential documents can sometimes take time to process.
- Unauthorised alterations or statutory notices: These may require further investigation and negotiation.
- Specialist reports: If concerns about the property’s condition arise, additional inspections or reports may be needed.
Although the process might sometimes feel slow, it’s important to remember that solicitors are working diligently behind the scenes to ensure all legal and practical aspects are covered. At Kaur Sutherland, we remain proactive throughout, focusing on moving the process forward rather than placing blame when delays occur.
What is an offer?
In Scotland, an offer is a formal proposal submitted by your solicitor to the seller’s solicitor, typically in the form of a 2-3 page letter with Standard Clauses attached. Once you instruct your solicitor to make an offer on a property, they will draft and send this formal letter to the seller’s solicitor on your behalf. At Kaur Sutherland we do not charge fees for making an offer on a property.
Offers can also be ‘conditional’, meaning they may include specific requirements, such as subject-to-survey clauses or mortgage approval conditions.
An offer usually has a time limit for acceptance. This timeframe also allows your solicitor to review all legal aspects of the property, including checking the title deeds, examining any previous alterations or additions, and verifying planning applications that could affect the property. The seller’s solicitor will review the offer and Standard Clauses with their client to determine if any adjustments are needed before responding.
