What do Bedworth conveyancing solicitors do?
A property lawyer assists the buyer with the legal side of buying a home. The solicitor will raise questions for the seller's solicitor, order property searches, review the lease (if applicable) and ensure that post-purchase requirements, including paying Stamp Duty and registering the property ownership with the Land Registry, are completed.
In addition to standard searches, Bedworth conveyancing solicitors would also undertake mining searches due to historical coal and mineral extraction.
Buying a home with a mortgage?
If you are getting a mortgage, your solicitor will also need to act for the mortgage lender.
If your lawyer isn't accepted on your chosen lender's panel, it may take weeks longer to purchase your property.
We work with conveyancers who can represent the vast majority of mortgage lenders, such as major banks like Barclays, to smaller lenders like Coventry Building Society and Lendinvest - helping to facilitate a faster completion for your purchase.
