What do Bembridge conveyancing solicitors do?

Your solicitor plays a key role after an offer has been accepted. The solicitor will order property searches, raise questions for the seller's solicitor, review the lease (if applicable), and fulfil post-completion formalities, such as paying Stamp Duty and HMLR registration.

Bembridge conveyancing solicitors may also undertake coastal erosion and sea defence checks.

Are you purchasing a property with a mortgage?

Whether you are buying a shared-ownership property or buying a property to let, your solicitor must also complete legal work for the bank or building society.

If your conveyancer isn't accepted on your chosen lender's panel, it could take weeks longer to buy your house.

We work with conveyancers who can represent the vast majority of lenders, including major banks like NatWest, to smaller lenders like Coventry Building Society and Pepper Money, ensuring your transaction will complete without delay.

Leasehold property

Almost all flats are leasehold. Purchasing a leasehold home will usually take more time than a freehold home as the freeholder and/or managing agent are also involved.

Delays in leasehold transactions could include anything from an unreachable freeholder to slow receipt of the managing agent information.

Our specialist leasehold solicitor team complete the legal work for 100's of leasehold purchases each month, and our proactive approach can mean faster conveyancing.

Selling a property in Bembridge

When selling property in Bembridge, the solicitor will prepare the necessary documentation, including the TA6 and TA10 property information forms and the draft contract. The conveyancer will resolve any potential issues and advise on enquiries sent by the buyer's conveyancer.

Your solicitor will also liaise with key parties, including agents, managing agents and lenders, to help ensure the sale of your property completes as soon as possible.

Does the conveyancing for selling leasehold take longer?

Yes, that's correct, it can take considerably longer to conduct the conveyancing to sell a leasehold home, compared to the sale of a freehold property.

The buyer's solicitor will expect to see this leasehold-related paperwork. These could include three years' filed accounts for the property management and management company information. The time required by the seller's conveyancer to source this information is usually the cause of these delays.

It can take a long time to gather the managing agent's information if it is difficult to contact the agent responsible for managing the property or they are slow to respond, so the seller's solicitor should start this process before a buyer has even been found.

How much are solicitors' conveyancing fees in Bembridge?

Conveyancing solicitors fees

Your conveyancing solicitor's quote will set out the legal fees (inc. VAT) that you'll pay when your transaction completes. These legal fees are paid to your solicitor or conveyancer for the legal work that they complete during your transaction.

Disbursements

The conveyancing quote should also include any disbursements, which are third-party costs, including Stamp Duty and property searches.

Check the terms and conditions

Some solicitors' quotes set out additional charges in the small print. This can lead to a higher-than-expected final bill. Watch out for undisclosed fees not included in your original quote, if you are comparing conveyancing quotes.
