Cillin O'Connell, Principal at Summit Law joins the SME Business Show to discuss the importance of thorough planning, coordination, and working with the right advisors. Buying and selling a property can be a stressful process, so it’s important that the conveyancer you choose makes you feel as at ease as possible.

While it’s possible to do the conveyancing yourself, (as long as you’re not using a mortgage) it’s a complex process, with huge consequences if not done correctly. That’s why it’s generally advised that you arrange for a conveyancing professional to help you. By handing it over to a property solicitor or a licensed conveyancer, you’ll be able to rest easy knowing that you’ll be 100% legally protected when you sell or buy a property.

Principal at Summit Law, Cillín O’Connell explains the process of property ownership transfer and the differences between domestic and commercial conveyancing.
