What will my solicitor do?

For the purchase of a house or flat, the solicitor will take care of the technical side of buying a home. Your lawyer will raise questions for the seller, order property searches, review the lease (if applicable) and ensure that post-purchase requirements, like registering the property ownership with the Land Registry, are completed.

In addition to standard searches, Kings Lynn conveyancing solicitors may undertake checks for potential flood risk.

Are you purchasing a home with a mortgage?

Selling a property in Kings Lynn

The sale of a Kings Lynn home will require your lawyer to first assemble all essential documents, including the various property information forms and the title deeds.

The role of a conveyancer acting for the seller includes dealing with complications like missing building regulations, responding to the buyer's solicitor's enquiries and redeeming the mortgage.

The solicitor will also coordinate with all parties, including estate agents and banks or building societies, confirming that the property sale completes as soon as possible.

Does sale conveyancing take longer for leasehold?

Yes. The legal work for selling leasehold properties usually takes longer.

The solicitor acting for the buyer will expect to see several leasehold-related documents, like a copy of buildings insurance for the common parts of the property and details of any breaches by other leaseholders. The time it takes to gather this paperwork is the common cause of such delays.

Your solicitor should get this underway at the earliest opportunity, as these details can take weeks to collect if it is difficult to contact the agent responsible for managing the property or they are slow to respond.
