The Residential Conveyancing Process
Lanyon Bowdler’s Conveyancing Solicitors in Shrewsbury specialise in residential transactions, which generally takes place in the following three stages:
Once an offer on a property is accepted and a sale agreed, a series of checks will be carried out including confirming the identities and addresses of the buyers and sellers and making sure the required funds for purchasing the property are available.
Essential information about the property will be obtained and the survey and searches carried out. The contracts will be then prepared and thoroughly checked ahead of exchange with the other party.
Once prepared, the contracts will need to be signed before they can be exchanged. This will be coordinated by the legal teams on both sides and it is only once the exchange takes place that the agreed sale becomes legally binding.
Completion generally takes place two weeks after the exchange of contracts to allow time for all the paperwork to be finalised and for the funds to be put in place. Once payments for the property and any outstanding fees have been made the sale is complete and the new owner will be registered with the Land Registry.
The legal work we carry out for you will depend on whether you are buying or selling a property.
If you are purchasing a property we will:
- establish your identity and address
- confirm your available funds
- advise on the most suitable survey
- check all property information provided by the seller
- carry out local authority searches
- check that all the required planning permissions and building regulations are in place
- effectively manage any issues resulting from the survey, local authority searches and property information
- renegotiate price where appropriate, to protect your personal and financial interests.
- thoroughly prepare, draft and check your contract
- arrange for you to sign your contract
- coordinate the exchange of contracts
- complete final paperwork
- manage the financial aspects
- register you as the owner of the property with the Land Registry and remove any reference to the previous owner and mortgage
If you are selling a property we will:
- verify your ID and address
- obtain the title deed for the property
- coordinate all the property information
- effectively manage any issues that may arise from the survey or searches and renegotiate where appropriate
- prepare and check your contract
- arrange for you to sign the contract
- coordinate the exchange of contracts
- complete all paperwork
- obtain mortgage statements
- manage financial transactions including the payment of your outstanding mortgage and any other fees

Shrewsbury is a historic county town that consistently ranks highly as one of the most desirable places to live in the Midlands. Set within a loop of the River Severn, the town is known for its distinctive black-and-white timbered buildings, medieval street pattern and vibrant independent scene.
Its heritage is visible at every turn. Landmarks such as Shrewsbury Castle and Shrewsbury Abbey, founded in the 11th century, reflect the town’s long and varied history. The riverside park known as The Quarry provides a large and much-loved green space close to the centre, hosting events throughout the year and offering views across the Severn.
Shrewsbury combines historic character with a strong retail and leisure offering. The Darwin and Pride Hill shopping centres sit alongside an extensive selection of independent shops, boutiques and cafés, particularly within the historic Market Hall and surrounding streets. Food and drink are central to the town’s appeal, with a wide choice of restaurants, traditional pubs, artisan bakeries and contemporary bars.
Culturally, Shrewsbury has a lively calendar of events. The annual Shrewsbury Flower Show, one of the longest-running flower shows in the world, draws tens of thousands of visitors each summer. Music, literary and food festivals also contribute to the town’s reputation as a regional cultural hub.
Surrounded by the Shropshire Hills and attractive countryside, yet offering the amenities of a thriving market town, Shrewsbury appeals to a broad range of buyers. Its combination of heritage, independent spirit and modern facilities continues to make it one of the most sought-after places to live in Shropshire.
Shrewsbury has a strong reputation for educational provision, with a broad range of state and independent schools serving the town and surrounding villages.
At primary level, schools such as Oxon Church of England Primary School and Woodfield Infant School are well regarded locally. Across the town, many primary and infant schools are rated Good by Ofsted under the current inspection framework, offering families a range of options depending on catchment and preference.
For secondary education, Belvidere School and The Priory School provide education for pupils aged 11 to 16, with sixth form provision available elsewhere in the town. These schools serve a wide catchment and offer a mix of academic and vocational pathways.
Shrewsbury is also home to a number of well-established independent schools. Shrewsbury School, one of the country’s most historic public schools, and Shrewsbury High School both attract pupils from across the region.
Post-16 education is provided by Shrewsbury Colleges Group, the largest college in Shropshire. The college offers A-level programmes for students progressing to university, alongside apprenticeships, technical qualifications and a wide range of vocational courses. Adult learning, part-time study and distance learning options are also available, supporting career development and skills training at different stages of working life.
The breadth of education provision in Shrewsbury continues to be a key factor for families considering a move to the town.
Shrewsbury is well connected by both road and rail, making it one of the most accessible locations in the county.
By road, the town is served by the A5, which provides a key east–west route linking Shrewsbury with Telford and the West Midlands to the east, and North Wales to the west. The nearby M54 connects directly to the M6, offering onward travel towards Birmingham, the North West and the wider motorway network. Additional routes including the A49 and A41 link Shrewsbury north towards Cheshire and south towards Hereford and the Welsh Marches.
Shrewsbury railway station sits on several main lines, providing regular direct services to Birmingham, Manchester and Cardiff, with onward connections to London. Journey times to Birmingham are typically around one hour, while Manchester can be reached in approximately 90 minutes, making rail travel a practical option for both business and leisure.
Together, these road and rail links support Shrewsbury’s position as a well-connected county town while allowing residents to enjoy its historic setting and surrounding countryside.
Shrewsbury’s property market continues to attract strong and consistent demand, supported by its status as the county town, its employment base and the wide range of housing available across the area.
Recent sold price data indicates that average property values in Shrewsbury typically sit in the high £200,000s to low £300,000s, although prices vary considerably depending on location and property type. Detached homes, particularly in sought-after residential areas such as Kingsland, Belle Vue and Meole Brace, often achieve prices well into the £400,000s and above. Substantial period properties close to the town centre or overlooking the River Severn can command significantly higher figures.
Semi-detached houses generally fall within the mid to high £200,000 range, while terraced properties, including many Victorian and Edwardian homes within walking distance of the centre, often provide more accessible options for first-time buyers and investors. Flats and apartments, including those within modern developments, typically sit at the lower end of the price spectrum compared to larger family homes.
Shrewsbury offers a diverse mix of housing stock, from medieval townhouses and Georgian terraces to 20th-century family homes and contemporary new-build developments on the outskirts. This variety allows buyers at different stages of life to find suitable options, whether upsizing, downsizing or relocating to the area.
As with many desirable regional centres, well-presented properties in popular neighbourhoods can attract significant interest. However, the breadth of housing available across the town means there are options to suit a range of budgets and preferences within a resilient local market.
As the county town of Shropshire, Shrewsbury acts as the principal commercial and administrative centre for the county and parts of mid-Wales. With a population of over 70,000, the town supports a broad employment base across public services, retail, healthcare and professional sectors.
Healthcare is one of the largest employers locally. The Shrewsbury and Telford Hospital NHS Trust, which operates the Royal Shrewsbury Hospital, provides significant employment in clinical and support roles. Public sector employment more widely, including local government and education, continues to account for a substantial proportion of jobs in the town.
Retail also plays an important role in Shrewsbury’s economy. The historic town centre, alongside the Darwin and Pride Hill shopping centres and retail parks on the outskirts, supports a mix of national chains and independent businesses. The sector remains a key contributor to local employment, reflecting Shrewsbury’s role as a shopping destination for a wide rural catchment.
Business and professional services are well represented, with firms located across sites such as Shrewsbury Business Park and Battlefield Enterprise Park. These areas accommodate companies in legal, financial, technology and light industrial sectors, supporting both local and regional markets.
Manufacturing and logistics also form part of the employment mix, while the town’s hospitality and tourism industries benefit from Shrewsbury’s historic appeal and annual events calendar.
Overall, Shrewsbury offers a diverse employment landscape, combining public sector stability with private sector growth, making it a strong economic hub within Shropshire.
