What will my solicitor do?
In a property purchase, a lawyer will address all the legal details of buying a home. They will order searches, raise questions for the seller's solicitor, review the contract of sale and fulfil post-completion formalities, including HMLR registration and paying SDLT.
Buckley conveyancing solicitors could also undertake searches for historic industrial activity and land contamination.
Are you purchasing a property with a mortgage?
During the conveyancing process, your solicitor must also complete the legal work on behalf of the mortgage lender.
If your lawyer isn't accepted on your bank or building society's panel, it could take weeks longer to buy your house.
We work with solicitors who can represent the vast majority of mortgage lenders, including major banks like Nationwide, to smaller lenders like Skipton Building Society and NRAM, so your conveyancing will complete sooner.

Selling property in Buckley
When selling a house or flat in Buckley, your solicitor will assemble all essential documents, including the contract of sale and assorted property information forms. The conveyancer's duties entail resolving any potential issues, responding to enquiries from the buyer's solicitor and taking charge of the mortgage redemption.
By taking action to liaise with key parties, like estate agents, landlords and lenders, your solicitor will help make sure your sale of your home completes without delay.Could the sale of a leasehold property be delayed?
Correct, it can take much more time to carry out the legal work to sell leasehold houses or flats when compared to conveyancing on a freehold house.
The buyer's conveyancer will need to review this leasehold-related paperwork, such as an up-to-date statement of service charges. Delays are usually the result of the time needed by the seller's conveyancer to source this information.
It can take a long time to gather this information if the managing agent is slow or difficult to contact, so your solicitor should commence this before a buyer has even been found.
