Sammy-Jo Woodward Qualifies as a Licensed Conveyancer

After completing my law degree and gaining experience here at McCarthy Bennet Holland, I completed the CLC’s course for Licensed Conveyancers. That means that, along with Caroline Rooks and John Petrie, I am now able to provide some of the most reliable and client-focused residential conveyancing in the North-West of England.

What is Conveyancing?
Conveyancing is an essential process whenever you are buying or selling land or property. Our team ensure that, during the transaction, their client is meeting all legal obligations. We can make fully certain that your legal rights are protected during the purchasing or selling of any property, whether it’s commercial or residential.

What Does A Conveyancer Do?

• Reviewing the title – We review the title to the property you are purchasing to ensure that there are no defects in the title and to ensure you are fully informed about your future property.
• Drawing up Documents – Whether you are buying or selling a property a Conveyancers role will be to ensure that the correct documentation is in place. Our team ensures that you are protected throughout the transaction, we look after your best interests.
• Legal Advice – Conveyancers will be able to offer practical advice to help you continue through the process as smoothly and simply as possible. Our team will undertake practically all the legal legwork to make sure that you have all the facts and can, therefore, make the right decisions.
• Arranging completion – We can streamline the entire process and make sure your transaction goes through without any problems.

The CLC’s Licensed Conveyancing Course
As a Licensed Conveyancer, I am now able to deal with a range of different conveyancing transactions. This includes:

• Sales,
• Purchases,
• Transfers,
• Leases.

Thanks to my law degree, I could complete the Council for Licensed Conveyancer’s course in a year and half. There are two different aspects to the course, the academic and the practical sides, which I needed to prove I could handle legally, ethically and safely before graduation. I completed the academic side, including both coursework and exams, before finishing off the practical side. The practical half of the course included work experience, which included at least 1,200 chargeable hours of practical training.

After applying for, and receiving, my license in October, 2016, I need to prove to the CLC that I have continued to grow and develop as a conveyancer. I do this by completing webinars, courses and taking part in seminars to obtain Continuing Professional Development points. This makes sure that all conveyancers are kept up to date with latest legal practices and laws.
