What will my solicitor do?

During the home purchase, a property lawyer will address all the legal details of transferring ownership from the seller to the buyer. Your solicitor will order searches, raise questions for the seller, review contracts and handle post-completion tasks, like paying Stamp Duty and registering the property ownership with the Land Registry.

Stroud conveyancing solicitors may undertake flood risk checks due to Severn and Avon rivers, and issues related to the Cotswolds AONB.

Buying a home with a mortgage?

During the house buying process, your solicitor also has to take care of legal matters for your bank or building society. If your conveyancer is not on your bank or building society's panel, your purchase could take weeks longer and incur the cost of an additional solicitor to act for the lender.

We work with solicitors who can represent the vast majority of building societies, banks and lenders, including major banks like HSBC, to smaller lenders like Yorkshire Building Society and NRAM, so your conveyancing will complete sooner.

Selling property in Stroud

When you begin the process to sell a Stroud house or flat, your solicitor will first arrange all the necessary documentation, including the contract of sale and the TA6 and TA10 property information forms.

Duties include responding to enquiries from the buyer's solicitor, resolving issues like a flying freehold and redeeming the mortgage.

Your solicitor will coordinate with both sides, including agents, lenders and landlords, confirming that the sale of your home completes quickly.

Does a leasehold property take longer to sell?

Correct, it can take considerably longer to complete the legal work on leasehold houses or flats, compared to freehold conveyancing.

The solicitor acting for the buyer will expect to see this leasehold-related paperwork, like management company information and three years' filed accounts for the property management. The time required by your lawyer to gather this paperwork is the common cause of such delays.

It can take weeks to collect these details if it is difficult to contact the managing agent or landlord or they are slow to respond, so the solicitor ought to start this process even before you have found a buyer.
