Selling a property in Diss

As part of the property selling process in Diss, the solicitor will compile key documents, including the draft contract and property information forms, and help you complete these forms.

The conveyancer's role involves answering the buyer's solicitor's questions and resolving any potential issues.

The solicitor will work with both sides, including agents, lenders and landlords, so the sale completes without delay.

Does it take longer to sell a leasehold property?

Yes. The legal work for selling a leasehold home can be seriously delayed.

The buyer's solicitor will expect to see these documents, such as an up-to-date statement of service charges. Typically, delays are due to the time it takes to get these documents together.

It can take weeks to collect this information if the landlord or managing agent is slow or difficult to contact, so your solicitor should get this underway even before you have found a buyer.

Conveyancing costs in Diss: What to expect

Don't be surprised if some of the costs listed on a conveyancing quote seem unfamiliar.

Conveyancing fees

The conveyancing quote will set out the legal fees (inc. VAT) that you'll pay when your transaction completes. These fees are what your solicitor charges you for the work they complete during your property transaction.

Conveyancing disbursements

Disbursements are additional costs on top of your solicitor's fees for third-party costs incurred on your behalf. Examples of disbursements include Stamp Duty and property searches.

Check what's included in your quote

When comparing quotes, watch out for undisclosed fees missing from the original quote. Some firms may include additional charges in the small print, leading to a total cost that's much higher than the initial quote.
