What do conveyancing solicitors do?

A conveyancer plays a pivotal role in a purchase. This means carrying out comprehensive due diligence on the property, including obtaining searches from relevant authorities, such as Epping Forest Council, raising enquires of the seller, reviewing contracts of sale and completing the registration of your ownership with HM Land Registry.

Further to the standard checks and searches, Epping conveyancing solicitors would also undertake flood risk assessments due to large low-lying areas, and potential for London's green belt issues.

Purchasing a property with a mortgage?

If you are getting a mortgage, your solicitor will also need to act for the bank or building society.

Your transaction could take weeks longer if your lawyer is not on your mortgage provider's panel.

Over 100 building societies, banks and lenders have approved our chosen panel solicitors, so we can help you complete your Epping transaction without delay.

Selling a house or flat in Epping

When selling an Epping property, the solicitor will assemble all essential documents, including the draft contract and property information forms.

They will resolve any potential issues, respond to inquiries from the buyer's solicitor and handle the mortgage redemption. By taking action to coordinate with all parties, like agents, managing agents and lenders, the solicitor will help make sure your sale of your property is completed successfully.

Does the conveyancing for selling leasehold take longer?

Yes, that's correct, it can take much more time to carry out the conveyancing on a leasehold home, compared to the sale of a freehold property.

The buyer's solicitor will need to review these documents. These could include three years' filed accounts for the property management and a copy of buildings insurance for the common parts of the property. Delays are usually caused by the time needed by your solicitor to get these documents together.

The solicitor should start this process at the earliest opportunity, because this paperwork could take several weeks to collect if the managing agent or landlord is slow or difficult to contact.
