What does a conveyancing solicitor do?
A conveyancer plays a key role after an offer has been accepted, and steers the buyer through the legal aspects of buying a home.
Your lawyer will order searches, raise questions for the seller's solicitor, review the contract of sale and complete any post-sale actions, such as registering the property ownership with the Land Registry.
Further to the standard checks and searches, Milford Haven conveyancing solicitors may also carry out radon gas searches and flood risk checks, and issues related to the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park.
