What will my Wombourne solicitor do?
A conveyancing solicitor leads you through the legal side of transferring ownership from the seller to the buyer. This means carrying out comprehensive due diligence on the property, like obtaining searches from relevant authorities, such as South Staffordshire Council, raising questions about how the seller has used the property, ensuring necessary funds are correctly transferred and registering your ownership of the property at HMLR.
Further to the standard checks and searches, Wombourne conveyancing solicitors would also undertake coal mining searches, due to the area's mining history.

Selling property in Wombourne
When you begin the process to sell a Wombourne property, your lawyer will first compile key documents, including title deeds and the various property information forms, and help you fill out this paperwork.
The lawyer will address potential issues and handle questions from the buyer's side.
To ensure the transaction is straightforward, your conveyancer will communicate effectively with the other parties, such as agents, lenders and landlords.
Does it take longer to sell a leasehold property?
Correct, it can take much more time to complete the legal work on a leasehold house or flat, compared to the sale of a freehold property.
The solicitor acting for the buyer must review several leasehold-related documents, such as a current statement of service charges. The time needed by the seller's conveyancer to gather this paperwork is usually the cause of these delays.
Your lawyer should start this process even before a sale has been agreed, as this paperwork could take several weeks to collect if it is difficult to contact the landlord or managing agent.
