Description
Solicitor Cora Sherlock dedicates this episode to demystifying property transactions and the legal language behind it. She explains the difference between freehold and leasehold title, and between a deed of conveyance and a deed of assignment; why apartments are typically bought on long leases rather than outright; what covenants and easements mean and how they govern life in an apartment block; and how equity is calculated. She also walks through the searches that solicitors carry out before contracts are signed and before a sale closes, and why they matter. A practical and accessible guide for anyone buying or selling property.
