Selling a property involves more legal work than many sellers expect. Your conveyancing solicitor manages the legal transfer of ownership, keeps the transaction moving and resolves issues that arise on the way to completion.
When instructed, your solicitor will prepare the contract pack, respond to the buyer's enquiries, deal with any title issues, manage redemption of your existing mortgage and ensure sale proceeds are received and distributed correctly. They coordinate with the buyer's solicitor, your estate agent and your lender.
Choosing a solicitor who communicates proactively, responds quickly to enquiries and has experience with your property type can significantly reduce the time between offer and completion — and reduce the risk of your sale falling through at a late stage.
