What does a Fleet conveyancing solicitor do?

A solicitor guides you through the legal side of transferring ownership from the seller to the buyer. This means carrying out comprehensive due diligence on the property, like raising enquires of the seller, property searches, handling the transfer of funds and registering your ownership of the property.

Further to the standard checks and searches, Fleet conveyancing solicitors may also undertake flood risk searches.

Are you buying a home with a mortgage?

During the conveyancing process, your solicitor also has to take care of legal matters for your mortgage lender. If your conveyancing solicitor is not on your lender's panel, your purchase could take weeks longer.

Our chosen panel lawyers have established relationships with the majority of banks and building societies, such as major banks like Santander, to smaller lenders like Cambridge Building Society and Bluestone Mortgages - ensuring your transaction will complete without delay.

Buying a leasehold property

Almost all flats are leasehold. The conveyancing for leasehold property can take weeks longer than a freehold property because there is more to prepare and the freeholder and/or managing agent are also involved.

Causes of numerous delays can range from incomplete managing agent information to an unresponsive landlord.

Expert leasehold conveyancers look after hundreds of leasehold clients every month. Our proactive approach means fewer obstacles.

Selling property in Fleet

When you begin the process to sell a Fleet property, the solicitor will first compile key documents, including the various property information forms and the draft contract.

Duties include resolving issues like a neighbour dispute and answering enquiries from the buyer's solicitor.

By taking action to work with both sides, like estate agents and banks or building societies, your solicitor will help make sure your sale of your property completes quickly.

Is there anything to be aware of if selling a leasehold property in Fleet?

Conveyancing for a leasehold flat is significantly more involved than for a freehold house.

Leasehold complexity involves extra work on the part of conveyancing solicitors in Fleet, such as getting all relevant freeholder information, through to a copy of the insurance policy.

To reduce leasehold-related delays, It is strongly advised that the seller instruct a Fleet conveyancing solicitor as soon as is practicable.

How much do conveyancing solicitors fees cost in Fleet?
