What does a conveyancing solicitor do?
Your solicitor plays a pivotal role in a purchase.
The solicitor will raise questions for the seller, order property searches, review contracts and ensure that post-purchase requirements, like registering the property ownership with the Land Registry and paying Stamp Duty Land Tax, are completed.
In addition to standard searches, Yateley conveyancing solicitors could also undertake flood risk searches.
Buying a property with a mortgage?
If you are buying a house or flat with a mortgage, your solicitor will investigate the property to confirm that the property is worth the loan that the bank or building society that's giving you the mortgage will provide.
If your conveyancer is not on your bank's panel, your purchase could take weeks longer and incur more costs.
We work with solicitors who can represent the vast majority of lenders, including TSB, NRAM and Coventry Building Society - ensuring your transaction will complete without delay.
