We work with solicitors across Northern Ireland to help our customers achieve home ownership. We aim to make the process as smooth as possible for all involved.
When purchasing a property our customers have the freedom to choose any solicitor firm in Northern Ireland. To avail of our legal package, the solicitor should be registered on our Conveyancing Panel.
If you're already on our panel, you have access to our online solicitor portal and resources. If you're interested in joining, we welcome applications on a rolling basis.
Purchases with Co-Ownership
Solicitors registered on our panel receive instructions electronically, via the solicitor portal, with pre-populated standard documentation for approval.
The portal is designed with the user experience in mind and aims to make processes faster and more efficient. It guides you through each stage with clear steps, and our team is always available to answer questions.

How it works
Co-Ownership transactions involve two or three parties: the purchaser, Co-Ownership and often a lender. You'll handle the conveyancing for all parties in the purchase.
Purchasers must meet our applicant criteria. Properties must meet our property criteria, and be located in Northern Ireland.

Buying out transactions
As a customer's circumstances change, they may decide to increase their ownership share or buy out Co-Ownership entirely.
For a full buy out (which may involve an associated sale or a re-mortgage), a customer may require your assistance. It is not necessary for your firm to be a member of our Conveyancing Panel in order to act in a buy out, as you will act for our customer only, and not for Co-Ownership. As such, our customer would be responsible for all your costs and outlays directly.
