What do Immingham conveyancing solicitors do?
A solicitor plays an essential role during a property purchase.
Your lawyer will raise questions for the seller's solicitor, order searches, review the contract of sale and complete any post-sale actions, like paying SDLT.
Further to the standard checks and searches, Immingham conveyancing solicitors may also carry out flood risk checks due to low-lying land.
Are you purchasing with a mortgage?
During the conveyancing process, your solicitor also has to take care of legal matters for your mortgage lender. If your solicitor isn't accepted on your bank's panel, it could take weeks longer to buy your house.
We work with conveyancers who can represent the vast majority of lenders, such as major banks like HSBC, to smaller lenders like Cambridge Building Society and Vida HomeLoans - helping to ensure your transaction completes faster.
