Need help finding a surveyor?
A survey will tell you if the property you’d like to buy has any structural problems or needs any major repairs. It can help you avoid expensive surprises and give you peace of mind, especially if you’ve never owned a property before.
If you’d like a survey, we can recommend a RICS surveyor.
Contact us and we’ll get back to you with a list of local companies.
Are you buying a second home or a buy-to-let property?
If you’re buying a second home or a buy-to-let property, you may have to pay a higher rate of Land Transaction Tax (in Wales) or Stamp Duty Land Tax (in England and Northern Ireland). Our friendly conveyancing solicitors can help you navigate these requirements.
Frequently asked questions
What does a housing solicitor do?
A housing solicitor (or conveyancing solicitor) handles the legal aspects of buying or selling property, ensuring ownership is transferred correctly and all legal requirements are met.
Do I need a solicitor for conveyancing?
Yes. While not legally required, most mortgage lenders insist on using a qualified conveyancing solicitor to protect your interests and ensure compliance.
When should I instruct a conveyancing solicitor?
You should instruct a solicitor as soon as you decide to buy or sell a property to avoid delays and start the legal process early.
What are property searches?
Property searches are checks carried out with local authorities and other bodies to identify issues such as planning restrictions, flood risks, or environmental concerns.
What is exchange of contracts?
Exchange of contracts is the point where the transaction becomes legally binding and both parties commit to completing the sale.
What is completion day?
Completion is when the purchase money is transferred, and you officially take ownership of the property.
Why do property transactions fall through?
Transactions can fail due to mortgage issues, survey results, delays in the chain, or legal complications. In the UK, a significant proportion of transactions collapse before completion.
What is the difference between freehold and leasehold?
- Freehold: You own the property and the land it stands on
- Leasehold: You own the property for a fixed period but not the land
How can I speed up conveyancing?
- Instruct a solicitor early
- Provide documents promptly
- Respond quickly to queries
- Ensure mortgage approval is in place
