What do conveyancing solicitors do?
A property lawyer plays a pivotal role in a property purchase, and assists the buyer with the legal side of buying a property.
The solicitor will perform required due diligence, like raising enquires, applying for searches from local authorities (e.g. Powys Council) and reviewing contracts of sale.
Llandrindod Wells conveyancing solicitors could also undertake searches related to rural properties and farming/agricultural land.
Purchasing a home with a mortgage?
During the conveyancing process, your solicitor must also complete the legal work on behalf of the bank or building society that's giving you the mortgage. If your property lawyer isn't accepted on your lender's panel, it may take many weeks longer to complete the purchase.
We work with conveyancers who can represent the vast majority of building societies, banks and lenders, facilitating a quicker completion of your transaction.

Selling property in Llandrindod Wells
When you're looking to sell homes in Llandrindod Wells, you can expect the solicitor to first compile key documents, including title deeds and ID forms, and help you fill out these forms.
The conveyancer's duties entail responding to enquiries from the buyer's solicitor and sorting out potential snags.
By taking steps to work with all parties, including agents, managing agents and lenders, your conveyancer will ensure the sale completes quickly.
Does it take longer to sell a leasehold property?
Yes, that's correct, it can take much more time to complete the legal work on a leasehold property, compared to freehold conveyancing.
The buyer's solicitor must review several leasehold-related documents. These could include three years' filed accounts for the property management and management company information. Delays are usually caused by the time needed by the solicitor to gather this paperwork.
It can take weeks to collect the managing agent's information if it is difficult to contact the agent responsible for managing the property or they are slow to respond, so your solicitor should commence this before a buyer has even been found.
