What will my solicitor do?
A property lawyer will take care of the technical side of a home purchase. The solicitor will order property searches, raise questions for the seller, review the lease (if applicable), and take care of tasks after the sale, including registering the property ownership with the Land Registry and paying Stamp Duty.
In addition to standard searches, Attleborough conveyancing solicitors may undertake searches to assess flood risk.

Selling property in Attleborough
When selling a home in Attleborough, the solicitor will assemble all essential documents - such as the various property information forms and the draft contract. The lawyer will advise on enquiries sent by the buyer's conveyancer, address potential issues and redeem the existing mortgage. Your lawyer will communicate effectively with the other parties, including agents, lenders and landlords, to confirm that the sale of your home completes quickly.
Does a leasehold property take longer to sell?
Yes, it can take much more time to complete the legal work on a leasehold house or flat, compared to the sale of a freehold property.
The buyer's conveyancer must review several leasehold-related documents, such as an up-to-date statement of service charges. Delays are usually the result of the time needed by your lawyer to get these documents together.
Your solicitor should commence this as soon as possible, because this paperwork could take several weeks to collect if it is difficult to contact the managing agent or they are slow to respond.
