What does a Wednesbury conveyancing solicitor do?

A conveyancer or solicitor assists you with the legal aspect of buying a property. Your lawyer will raise questions for the seller, order searches, review contracts and ensure that post-purchase requirements, such as registering the property ownership with the Land Registry, are completed.

In addition to standard searches, Wednesbury conveyancing solicitors may also carry out mining searches and checks for historic industrial activity.

Are you funding your home purchase with a mortgage?

During the conveyancing process, your solicitor also has to take care of legal matters for the lender. If your conveyancer is not on your bank or building society's panel, your purchase could take significantly longer to complete.

We work with solicitors who can represent the vast majority of banks and building societies, so you can complete your purchase without delay.

Selling a property in Wednesbury

When selling property in Wednesbury, your lawyer will prepare vital paperwork, including title deeds and ID forms, and help you fill out these forms.

The conveyancer will sort out potential snags and respond to inquiries from the buyer's solicitor. In order to assure a smooth transfer of ownership, your conveyancer will work with both sides, such as agents, lenders and landlords.

Does it take longer to sell a leasehold property?

Compared to freehold property, yes. Sale conveyancing for leasehold properties usually takes longer.

The solicitor acting for the buyer will expect to see several leasehold-related documents, like management company information and a current statement of service charges. The time it takes the solicitor to source this information is the common cause of such delays.

Your solicitor should start this process even before you have found a buyer, as this information can take a long time to gather if the agent responsible for managing the property is slow or difficult to contact.
