What will my solicitor do?
During a property purchase, your conveyancing solicitor will handle all the legal elements of transferring ownership from the seller to the buyer.
The solicitor will order searches, raise questions for the seller's solicitor, review the lease (if applicable) and ensure that post-purchase requirements, such as paying SDLT and registering the property ownership with the Land Registry, are completed.
In addition to standard searches, Camberley conveyancing solicitors may carry out checks for issues affecting high-value listed buildings and properties within green belt areas.
Are you purchasing a property with a mortgage?
If you are getting a mortgage, your solicitor will also need to act for the bank.
If your lawyer isn't accepted on your chosen lender's panel, it could take weeks longer to buy your house.
We work with solicitors who can represent the vast majority of mortgage lenders, such as major banks like Santander, to smaller lenders like Coventry Building Society and AIB - helping to ensure your transaction completes faster.

Selling a house or flat in Camberley
When you begin the process to sell a house or flat in Camberley, your conveyancing solicitor will first prepare the necessary documentation, including title deeds and the various property information forms, and will help you answer these forms.
A seller's solicitor's duties include resolving issues like a missing EIC, answering the buyer's solicitor's questions and redeeming the mortgage.
Your solicitor will coordinate with both sides, like estate agents, landlords and lenders, to make sure your home move is completed without incident.
Does sale conveyancing take longer for leasehold?
Correct, it can take considerably longer to complete the legal work on leasehold properties, compared to the sale of a freehold property.
The buyer's conveyancer must review these documents, like a copy of the freehold property's buildings insurance and an up-to-date statement of service charges. Delays are usually caused by the time needed by to source this information.
The solicitor should start this process as soon as possible, as this paperwork can take a long time to gather if the managing agent is slow or difficult to contact.
