What does a Corsham property lawyer do?

A conveyancer will handle the legal aspects of buying a property. This means carrying out comprehensive due diligence, such as raising questions for the seller's solicitor, arranging property searches and completing the registration of your ownership.

Corsham conveyancing solicitors may also undertake checks associated with military or air rights, as the county is home to military bases and restricted airspace.

Buying with a mortgage?

Whether you are buying a second home or buying a flat, your solicitor must also complete legal work for the lender. Your transaction could take weeks longer to complete if your conveyancing solicitor is not on your bank's panel.

Our chosen panel solicitors have established relationships with the majority of banks and building societies, so you can complete your purchase without delay.

How much should I budget for conveyancing in Corsham?

Conveyancing fees

Your solicitor's quote will detail the fees for the legal work, including VAT, that you pay when the property transaction is complete. These fees are what your conveyancer charges you for the legal services they provide during your property transaction.

Disbursements (third party costs)

Your quote should also list any disbursements, which are costs paid to third parties on your behalf, such as Stamp Duty and property searches.

Check the quote for hidden costs

If you are comparing quotes, make sure you question any charges not set out in your initial quote. Some solicitors' quotes include extra costs in the small print, resulting in a total cost that's much higher than the initial quote.
