The legal process and costs
THE PROCESS
Your conveyancer will check all aspects of the legal title to the property to make sure it is good and marketable, including:
- Carrying out searches such as the local authority search and land registry search
- Advice on the contract and raise enquiries with the seller's conveyancer with regard to legal aspects of the property
- Looking into legal terms that affect the property
- Complete all the legal work involved in the transfer of ownership, preparing the transfer document that you will sign
- Advise you on the mortgage and prepare the mortgage deed
- In many cases they act for the lender too, approving the legal title
All in all, your conveyancer will handle all legal work from the start, through the exchange of contracts to final completion.
THE COSTS
Cost can differ quite considerably from one conveyancer to another, and depending on the price of your property. The best way to find a good one is through recommendation, so ask around and remember, sometimes it's worth paying a little bit more for the peace of mind it brings.
