What does a Glossop conveyancing solicitor do?

A conveyancer plays a key role after an offer has been accepted. Your solicitor will order property searches, raise questions for the seller, review contracts and take care of tasks after the sale, such as paying Stamp Duty and registering the property ownership with the Land Registry.

In addition to standard searches, Glossop conveyancing solicitors may carry out checks for additional planning restrictions associated with AONB.

Purchasing a property with a mortgage?

During the conveyancing process, your solicitor also has to take care of legal matters for the bank or building society that's giving you the mortgage. Your transaction could take weeks longer to complete if your conveyancer is not on your chosen mortgage provider's panel.

Selling property in Glossop

When you're looking to sell a Glossop home, you can expect your conveyancing solicitor to first arrange all the necessary documentation, including the various property information forms and the title deeds.

The conveyancer's duties entail handling obstacles like a defective lease and answering the buyer's solicitor's enquiries.

Your lawyer will also coordinate with all parties, including agents, lenders and landlords, ensuring that the sale completes without a hitch.

Does it take longer to sell a leasehold property?

Correct, it can take much more time to complete the legal work on leasehold properties when compared to conveyancing on a freehold house.

The buyer's solicitor will expect to see this leasehold-related paperwork. These could include an up-to-date statement of service charges and a copy of buildings insurance for the common parts of the property. The time required by your lawyer to gather this paperwork is commonly the source of delays.

Your solicitor should commence this even before you have found a buyer, because the managing agent's information can take weeks to collect if it is difficult to contact the managing agent or landlord.
