Find the right property specialist
When you put in an offer for a Property, you can expect to be asked who your Conveyancer or Property Solicitor is immediately by your estate agent or mortgage broker inorder for them to prepare the Memorandum of Sale and for submission to your proposed mortgage lender.
This means it is wise to secure the services of a law professional before you start bidding for properties, or you could miss out on the home that you have targeted.
The term conveyancing relates to the process of transferring the ownership of property. Tasks that property solicitors and Conveyancers can carry out for you including providing you with legal advice on the property you are looking to purchase, its title and any defects, while explaining it to you in a manner that you can understand, no matter how complex it is.
They will also handle contracts on your behalf and carry out Locality searches, contact and deal with the Land Registry and transfer the cash needed to pay for your Property.
As you might expect, some Property Solicitors and Conveyancers have better reputations than others, so it is wise to shop around and find a professional that suits your needs that you feel comfortable with.
Don’t simply opt for the first service you are recommended by your estate agents or mortgage broker – it’s extremely wise to talk to four or five different legal professionals or firms so you can weigh up what they have to offer and come to an informed decision that you won’t come to regret further down the line.
If you are a purchaser, your mortgage lender will also usually instruct your conveyancer to handle legalities on their behalf.
