What does a Pinner property lawyer do?
A conveyancer plays a pivotal role in a purchase, and assists the buyer with the legal side of a home purchase.
The solicitor will order searches, raise questions for the seller's solicitor, review the contract of sale and take care of tasks after the sale, including HMLR registration and paying SDLT.
In addition to standard searches, Pinner conveyancing solicitors would also undertake checks for issues related to flats, such as spiralling ground rents.
Are you buying a property with a mortgage?
If you are planning to buy with a mortgage, your solicitor will investigate the property to verify that the property is worth the loan that your mortgage bank will provide.
Your transaction could take significantly longer to complete if your conveyancing solicitor is not on your chosen mortgage provider's panel.
We work with solicitors who can represent the vast majority of building societies, banks and lenders, from major banks like HSBC to smaller, specialist lenders including Keystone Finance - helping to facilitate a faster completion for your purchase.

Selling property in Pinner
When selling a Pinner property, your solicitor will assemble all essential documents - such as the draft contract and ID forms. The conveyancer's duties entail addressing snags like missing building regulations and answering the buyer's solicitor's enquiries.
By taking steps to communicate effectively with the other parties, including agents, managing agents and lenders, the solicitor will ensure the home move completes as soon as possible.Does the conveyancing for selling leasehold take longer?
Correct, it can take much longer to complete the legal work on leasehold properties, compared to freehold conveyancing.
The buyer's conveyancer must review this leasehold-related paperwork, such as three years' filed accounts for the property management. The time it takes to get these documents together is the common cause of such delays.
It can take a long time to gather this paperwork if it is difficult to contact the managing agent or they are slow to respond, so the seller's solicitor should commence this as soon as possible.
