Once you have agreed to buy a property you will need to employ the services of a solicitor that specialises in conveyancing or a qualified licensed conveyancer. In either event the firm that you instruct must be properly qualified and authorised to act as your representative in the conveyancing process.
A licensed conveyancer or lawyer will act on your behalf to formalise the sale or purchase on your behalf. They will work with you, your mortgage provider, external third parties and the other side’s conveyancer to make sure that all the boxes are ticked and everything is legal.
If you are the buyer the conveyancer’s services will likely include;
1: Agreeing and documenting your mortgage offer and obtaining funds so that the purchase can ‘complete’.
2: Agreeing and documenting the contract terms and making sure that these terms are both lawful and reasonably reflect the offer accepted. He or she will advise on unusual requests made by the other side.
3: Deal with ‘inquiries before contract’ on your behalf
4: Apply for local authority and land registry searches and environmental searches (such as the Coal Board and Environmental Agency).
5: Register your purchase with the Land Registry and arrange for your payment of any Stamp Duty Land Tax (SDLT) due on the purchase.
6: Provide a final completion statement on completion day and transfer your funds on your behalf.
