When you’re buying or selling your home – or mortgaging a property - it’s important to make sure that the legal process doesn’t slow you down.
Our top tip for speeding up the sale of a house is to involve an experienced conveyancer or solicitor as early as possible. With JC Legal, we can help you find a conveyancer who can assist your home purchase at a competitive price.
What is conveyancing?
Conveyancing is the name of the legal process you go through when buying or selling a property, remortgaging or extending a lease. No matter how many times you go through the process, the legal act of buying a house can be a minefield. By understanding the process and choosing the right provider you can ensure there are fewer surprises along the way.
What does a Conveyancer do?
Your appointed conveyancer will do everything from conducting appropriate searches and enquiries, highlighting significant issues, completing the legal transfer of ownership, transferring funds, repaying your existing mortgage and registering the interests of relevant parties (you and the lender) on the property you are buying.
The three main stages to the conveyancing process when buying a property are:
Preparing to exchange
Your appointed conveyancer carries out all the relevant checks needed in order to formalise the purchase and exchange contracts with the seller
Exchange
Once you and the seller are happy to proceed, you sign and exchange contracts via your conveyancers to make the deal legally binding
Completing and moving in
The seller’s conveyancer confirm they’ve received the funds, and you arrange a day to collect the keys and move into your new home.
Making sure legal processes are followed properly during a property sale is vital – otherwise the whole process stalls.
