Conveyancing
With the introduction of Land Registration to the Islands, the abolition of land tenure, crofting reform along with numerous regulatory and financial reforms there has never been a more turbulent time for homeowners and prospective purchasers. We at Ken Macdonald & Co have evolved our conveyancing practice to meet the challenges brought about by such changes thus ensuring that we continue to provide the highest standard of personal service in this field.

We have built up excellent relations with local lenders, financial advisors, surveyors, estate factors and all governmental and non governmental organisations and services behind the conveyancing process in order to ensure that we can effectively co-ordinate and guide you through this complex and otherwise stressful process. We believe a good personal service to be paramount.

The following represents an illustration of the areas we can assist you in:

Selling
Once an acceptable offer has been received, it is then necessary to carry out the conveyancing to transfer the title to the purchaser. Our conveyancing service begins, however, long before this point. It is our policy to endeavour to obtain a client's Title Deeds as soon as the property is introduced to the market and to then carry out a preliminary examination of the titles, thus ensuring that no unnecessary delays occur at a later stage.

Purchasing
Our view is that it is never too early to obtain advice on purchasing a property. We are more than happy to consult and advise you on the process from the outset and guide you through every step of the way. Our policy is not to charge for unsuccessful offers submitted and shall work with you to ensure you obtain the home of your choice.

Finance
Whether it is your first mortgage, re-mortgaging or discharging an existing mortgage either as part of a larger conveyance or a piece of work in its own right, we are able to assist and guide you through the process again providing our own brand of personal service otherwise lacking in the faceless industry of finance.

New Titles, Self Builds, Developments or Housing Association Purchases
If you are in the process of obtaining a title from the estate, building your own home, or purchasing from a developer or a housing association we can assist.

Crofting
Whether it be decrofting, assigning the tenancy of a croft or any other aspect of crofting tenure we are able to assist and advice you.
