What does a conveyancing solicitor do?
A conveyancer assists the buyer with the legal side of transferring ownership from the seller to the buyer. The solicitor will raise enquires of the seller, order searches, review the contract of sale and ensure that post-purchase requirements, including paying SDLT and registering the property ownership with the Land Registry, are completed.
Further to the standard checks and searches, Hazel Grove conveyancing solicitors may undertake searches for historic industrial activity and land contamination.
Are you funding your home purchase with a mortgage?
If you are buying with the help of a mortgage, your solicitor will investigate the property to verify that the property is worth the loan that the bank will provide.

Our chosen panel lawyers have established relationships with the majority of banks and specialist lenders, including Co-operative Bank, Vida HomeLoans and Cambridge Building Society - so you can complete your purchase without delay.
