Conveyancing

When buying or selling a home it’s vital to choose the right solicitor whether you are buying, selling or both. Why not give us a call and we can arrange quotes from locally based solicitors on your behalf.

If there's a problem during the selling process, it's usually a legal one. To help avoid delays, it's best to instruct a good solicitor and ask them to get to work as soon as your property goes on the market. That means they can get everything ready for a swift, smooth transaction.

What does a Solicitor do for you?

Draft Contract

When you agreed a sale your solicitor will prepare and send a draft contract of sale to the buyer's solicitor, along with a copy of the title deeds and other relevant documents.

Enquiries & Searches

Next, the buyer's solicitor will raise enquiries about the property and do a Land Registry search. They'll also submit a local authority search for details of planning consents and any other relevant local issues.

Exchange Contracts

With all the formalities completed, you and your buyer both sign the contract. They send their deposit to your solicitor, and contracts are formally exchanged with a completion date agreed. The transaction is now legally binding on both sides, and you're normally just two to four weeks from completion. Sometime Exchange is done on Completion day.

Completion

The final stage is for the buyers to transfer the balance of the purchase price to your solicitor's account. Once the property is empty, and you've received all the money, the solicitors will confirm that the sale is complete. Only then do we actually release the keys to the new owner. The solicitor will settle any outstanding bills on completion day.
