What does a conveyancing solicitor do?
A conveyancer guides you through the legal side of buying a property.
They will raise enquires of the seller's solicitor, order searches, review the lease (if applicable) and handle post-completion tasks, such as paying Stamp Duty Land Tax and registering the property ownership with the Land Registry.
In addition to standard searches, Brackley conveyancing solicitors would also undertake flood risk checks due to the River Nene and other watercourses, and radon searches.
Are you purchasing a property with a mortgage?
Whether you are purchasing a second home or buying your first home, your solicitor must also complete legal work for your mortgage lender. If your solicitor isn't accepted on your chosen lender's panel, it could take weeks longer to complete your purchase.
We work with conveyancers who can represent the vast majority of mortgage lenders, such as major banks like HSBC, to smaller lenders like Cambridge Building Society and AIB - so you can complete your purchase without delay.

Selling a property in Brackley
When selling a Brackley property, your conveyancing solicitor will prepare the necessary documentation, including the contract of sale and property information forms. The lawyer will handle questions from the buyer's side, address potential issues and handle the mortgage redemption. Your lawyer will also communicate effectively with the other parties, like estate agents, landlords and lenders, ensuring that the home move completes as soon as possible.
Could the sale of a leasehold property be delayed?
Correct, it can take much more time to carry out the legal work to sell a leasehold property when compared to conveyancing on a freehold house.
The buyer's solicitor will want to see several leasehold-related documents, including a copy of the freehold property's buildings insurance. Typically, delays are due to the time it takes the seller's conveyancer to source this information.
It could take several weeks to collect this 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 get this underway even before you have found a buyer.
