Bailey's Conveyancing Services
Buying or selling a home can be a daunting process, no matter what type of transaction’s involved. There’s a lot of legal work to be done that absolutely must be completed by a professional. Failing to carry out the proper steps in time could be a costly mistake and potentially even lead to the transaction falling through.
At the heart of any property transaction is the contract, which lays out the terms and conditions of the sale which will be agreed upon by both buyer and seller. An experienced conveyancer is needed to draft such a contract, as well as checking it thoroughly on your side. There may also need to be negotiation and compromise on the terms of the contract before an exchange of contracts can take place.
If you’re purchasing a property, you’ll need a trained legal professional to conduct certain searches and checks on your behalf. These include Local Authority searches which investigate the property’s boundaries, rights of way, planning constraints or permissions and any disputes. Other searches include environmental, water, drainage and land charges, as well as any other checks you may wish to have carried out.
A conveyancer can advise on valuation surveys, homebuyers reports and full structural surveys that may need to be carried out on a property you plan to purchase.
When everyone’s happy with the terms of the contract, conveyancers/solicitors on both sides will set a date to exchange contracts. On this date, both parties are committed to the transaction.
This is one of the most important dates of any property transaction, when the property purchase is completed. Between the date of exchanging contracts and completing, a conveyancer can help with any last financial checks and set the date for completion. On this crucial day, the services of a conveyancer are essential as everything needs to happen at exactly the right time. Bailey's Conveyancing Services can handle the transfer of funds to pay the balance of the purchase price and, once the keys have been handed over, register the purchase with the Land Registry on your behalf. They can also arrange for stamp duty (if applicable) to be paid.
