What do Hyde conveyancing solicitors do?

During a property purchase, your solicitor will take care of the technical side of buying a property. Your lawyer will raise enquires of the seller's solicitor, order property searches, review the lease (if applicable) and take care of tasks after the sale, such as HMLR registration.

In addition to standard searches, Hyde conveyancing solicitors may carry out searches for historic industrial activity and land contamination.

Purchasing a property with a mortgage?

As part of the house buying process, your solicitor also has to handle legal due diligence on behalf of your mortgage lender. If your solicitor isn't accepted on your mortgage provider's panel, it could take weeks longer to buy your house.

Over 100 lenders have approved our chosen panel solicitors, so we can help you complete your Hyde transaction without delay.

Selling a house or flat in Hyde

When selling a Hyde property, the solicitor will assemble all essential documents, including the sale contract and ID forms, and help you complete these forms. The conveyancer will advise on enquiries sent by the buyer's conveyancer and address potential issues.

Your lawyer will coordinate with all stakeholders, like estate agents and banks or building societies, ensuring that the sale of your home completes without delay.

Could the sale of a leasehold property be delayed?

Yes, compared to freehold conveyancing. The conveyancing for selling a leasehold house or flat can take much longer.

The buyer's conveyancer will need to review these documents, including a copy of buildings insurance for the common parts of the property. Typically, delays are due to the time it takes the seller's conveyancer to source this information.

Your conveyancing solicitor should start this process even before you have found a buyer, because this information can take weeks to collect if it is difficult to contact the managing agent or they are slow to respond.

Conveyancing costs in Hyde: What to expect

Conveyancing legal fees

Conveyancing fees are paid to your lawyer for the work they complete on your behalf. The quote should clearly detail the legal fees, including VAT, to be paid when the conveyancing transaction completes.
