Our Conveyancing Service
Our Service
Buying or Selling a home is always an exciting prospect, but without the help of a solicitor it can also be a legal minefield. Our conveyancing solicitor is qualified to deal with sales, purchases and transfers of residential property and is there to help you avoid potential problems and to protect your interests at every step, from making an offer to getting the keys to the door.
Ideally you should contact a solicitor as soon as you think about buying a home. You can then be fully prepared for when a sale or purchase is agreed.
What We Need From You
Once you have instructed us, we will ask you for a variety of details and documents. These could include:
- some personal identification;
- whether you are selling or buying or both;
- the price of the property you are buying or selling;
- a copy of the home information pack for the property if you are selling;
- any factors that may influence the exact time you want to buy the property (for example: to coincide with school holidays);
- how you are planning to pay for the property if you are buying.
We will also need to know whether:
- you have applied for a mortgage if you are buying;
- you plan to carry out work on the property;
- you are buying on your own or with someone else;
- who else is involved in the chain.
Related Legal Matters
Buying a property may introduce other related legal matters. For example:
- if you are buying a home with someone you are not married to, you may need to enter into a 'deed of trust' to set out what share of the property each person owns;
- if you do not have a will, you should consider making one; and
- if you do have a will, you may need to update it. In all cases your solicitor can offer you legal advice as part of a complete professional service.
