What will my Telford solicitor do?

The conveyancing solicitor plays a pivotal role in a property purchase. They will order searches, raise questions for the seller's solicitor, review the lease (if applicable) and take care of tasks after the sale, like HMLR registration.

Telford conveyancing solicitors may carry out mining searches due to historical coal, lead and copper mining.

Are you funding your home purchase with a mortgage?

During the house buying process, your solicitor must also complete the legal work on behalf of your lender. If your property lawyer is not on your mortgage provider's panel, your purchase could take significantly longer to complete and incur more costs.

Over 100 mortgage lenders have approved our chosen partner solicitors, so we can help you complete your Telford transaction without delay.

Buying a Shared Ownership property

Shared ownership (sometimes referred to as shared equity) technically means purchasing a share in the property (e.g. 25% or 50%) from a not-for-profit housing association. Shared ownership conveyancing is more involved. Contracts are more complex, as shared ownership properties are leasehold.

Whether you are buying a shared ownership property or staircasing, our panel of specialist solicitors can assist you with every aspect of the purchase process.

Selling property in Telford

As part of the property selling process in Telford, your solicitor will arrange all the necessary documentation, including the title deeds and the TA6 and TA10 property information forms.

The role of a conveyancer acting for the seller includes handling obstacles like lack of consent for alterations, responding to the buyer's solicitor's enquiries and handling the mortgage redemption.

Your solicitor will coordinate with all stakeholders, like estate agents, landlords and lenders, to confirm that the sale completes without delay.

Could the sale of a leasehold property be delayed?

Correct, it can take much more time to carry out the legal work to sell leasehold houses or flats when compared to conveyancing on a freehold house.

The buyer's conveyancer will need to review this leasehold-related paperwork, such as an up-to-date statement of service charges. Delays are usually the result of the time needed by the seller's conveyancer to source this information.

It can take a long time to gather this information if the managing agent is slow or difficult to contact, so your solicitor should commence this before a buyer has even been found.

What are typical Telford conveyancing fees?

Getting a conveyancing quote online is simple - but knowing what the quote does and does not include can be tricky.

Conveyancing fees

These legal fees are paid to your solicitor or conveyancer for the tasks they complete. Your solicitor's quote should clearly detail the legal fees, including VAT, that you'll pay when your transaction completes.

Disbursements

A disbursement is a cost that your solicitor or conveyancer must pay to a third party for a tax or additional service. Third-party disbursements include Stamp Duty Land Tax (SDLT), HM Land Registry fees and property searches.

Are the conveyancing fees fixed?

If you are comparing conveyancing quotes, beware of extra fees. Some firms list extra charges in the small print. This can lead to an inflated final bill.
