Why You Should Use a Conveyancing Solicitor When Buying a Nottingham Home
The Nottingham property market is undergoing something of a
boom, with prices on the rise in the city, as well as in surrounding areas such
as Loughborough. This means a lot of people in the area are buying or selling
homes, and each of them will need to go through the process of conveyancing. Buying
or selling a home can mean a lot of fees, and some people wonder whether they
need a solicitor to carry out the paperwork. Here are some reasons why it’s
important to hire a solicitor when you buy or sell a property, and what they
can do for you.
It can speed up the
process
With so many buyers and sellers carrying out transactions,
and often in large chains, it’s important that transactions are done as quickly
as possible when you buy in Nottingham. Conveyancing
solicitors
have the experience and knowledge to help speed up the process,
ensuring everything is sorted out on your side. Unfortunately, there can still
be delays, especially if the other party is holding things up, but using a
solicitor can help minimise issues.
They understand the
legal terms
A good conveyancing solicitor will know exactly what issues
to look out for in searches and can explain things to their clients in simple
terms. They can look out for issues such as:
· Flood risks
· Planning issues – i.e. new developments being
planned nearby
· Location of any sewers close to the property
· Any financial liabilities on the property
If you buy a property without going through the proper
process, you could find all sorts of issues with the property down the line,
from outstanding debts to access issues, so it’s important to work with a
solicitor who can explain any potential problems.
They can deal with
specialist cases
Not all property sales are the same, and if you’re buying a
commercial property, for example, then you’ll need to see specialists such as commercial property solicitors. Buying
a commercial property is a lot different to buying a house, with different
things to think about and investigate. Therefore, it’s important that you get
legal advice from people who are experienced in this area.
It can save you money
There are a lot of things that can end up being costly when
it comes to buying or selling a house, including chains breaking down or long
delays in the process. While using a solicitor means you’ll need to pay a fee,
this is often less than the costs that problems in the process can cause.
They can help get you
organised
From ID to contracts, there’s so much to remember when you
buy or sell a house. Your solicitor can give you a comprehensive list of all
the paperwork you need, helping things to go smoothly, so the transaction can
be carried out as soon as possible.
