Conveyancing initiates the moment an offer on a property is accepted, and ends when the keys are handed over. Solicitors in this practice area are specialists in property law and are meticulously trained to guide clients through this process.
The first step involves instructing a solicitor. Once you’ve decided to sell or buy a property, it’s advisable to appoint a solicitor at the earliest possible stage. Altrincham Solicitors can handle this process efficiently and proficiently, ensuring your transaction proceeds smoothly.
Once instructions have been received, the solicitor initiates the process. For a seller, this involves drafting a contract detailing the terms of sale, including property details, boundaries, fixtures and fittings, legal rights and restrictions. For a buyer, the solicitor checks the draft contract, raises queries, conducts local searches, and checks the condition of the property through a surveyor.
Following this stage, the agreement of contracts takes place. The buyer’s solicitor will confirm all queries are amicably resolved. The buyer and seller exchange contracts, which bind both parties to the transaction. The buyer’s solicitor will arrange the transfer of deposit at this stage.
The completion stage involves transferring the remaining funds from the buyer to the seller. Once the money is received, the seller’s solicitor confirms and provides the legal documents of the property to the buyer’s solicitor. The buyer can then collect the keys to the property and move in.
The final stage is the registration of the property under the new owner’s name with the Land Registry, and paying any Stamp Duty Land Tax if necessary. Altrincham Solicitors assist in completing these formalities seamlessly.
