What do Epsom conveyancing solicitors do?

The conveyancing solicitor will handle all the legal elements of the transaction.

They will order searches, raise questions for the seller, review contracts, and fulfil post-completion formalities, including HMLR registration.

Selling property in Epsom

As part of the property selling process in Epsom, your conveyancer will prepare vital paperwork, including the sale contract and ID forms, and help you fill out these forms.

Their duties entail responding to enquiries from the buyer's solicitor, handling obstacles like a flying freehold and redeeming the mortgage.

Your lawyer will also work with both sides, including estate agents and banks or building societies, to make sure your home move is completed without incident.

Does it take longer to sell a leasehold property?

Compared to freehold property, yes. The conveyancing for selling a leasehold property can take much longer.

The buyer's conveyancer will need to review several leasehold-related documents, including a copy of the freehold property's buildings insurance. The time required by the seller's conveyancer to source this information is usually the cause of these delays.

It can take a long time to gather these details if the agent responsible for managing the property is slow or difficult to contact, so your solicitor should start this process before a buyer has even been found.
