Property Transactions
Unisons offers clients support with their property practices whereby they can outsource the entire post-exchange to settlement process to Unison's Conveyancing Hub.
Our team can also assist with due diligence and the review of contracts pre-exchange. The concept is a simple one, you focus on providing advice to your clients and we focus on the process driven low-value component of the transaction.
