Selling a property can be a
stressful process and a lengthy one at that.Making the decision to move isn’t
easy and at times it can get stressful. Hiring the necessary persons to help
handle your house sale can be beneficial; not only will it reduce the stress of
the move, but it will also give you the peace of mind that the sale has been
completed in the most effective and professional way possible.
You might already have had contact
with an estate agent, put your property up for sale and accepted an offer from
a buyer. This is when conveyancing
solicitors come in. They can help you deal with any legal issues that come with
selling your property and to assist in progressing the process.
Make sure that if you are going to
use a solicitor, they are experienced in property law. Conveyancing solicitors
specialise specifically in property and therefore are knowledgeable in the
field. If your property sale is tied in with other legal issues, such as a
divorce, it’s useful to speak to a conveyancing solicitor who can help guide
you through the process effectively.
Moving home is one of the biggest
financial actions you’ll make, so remember to budget effectively for a
conveyancing solicitor. Fees will depend on the company you choose and the type
of property. Whilst it might seem unnecessary to spend more money in the
selling process, reputable practitioners will give you necessary legal advice
for your move; something that is difficult to navigate if you’re doing it
yourself.
Here’s what a conveyancing
solicitor can help you with when selling your property:
- Checking
the title of your property
- Support
in completing legal questionnaires
- Preparation
and distribution of contracts
- Liaising
with other parties in the transaction
- Resolving
any issues with the buyers
- Mortgage
remainder pay-offs
- Approval
of deed transfers
- Negotiating
a moving date
If you’re looking at going down the
route of handling the selling process yourself, without the help of a
solicitor- bear in mind that these are the responsibilities that you will have
to take on board. Taking on the tasks of a solicitor for yourself can be
challenging and might come with additional complexities. Some mortgage
providers may insist on using a solicitor in order to protect their interests,
so it’s worth bearing in mind potential obstacles if you choose not to use one.
