The conveyancing process in Lymington
The role that conveyancing solicitors on Lymington play in the purchase or sale of a property is to manage all of the legal requirements for the transaction to go through. There are many different regulations that need to be complied with in order for this to happen, including everything from anti-money laundering and ID checks on the parties involved, through to calculating and administrating Stamp Duty Land Tax where applicable.
It’s important for clients, whether buyers or sellers, to have access to accurate and up-to-date advice throughout the process, so that informed decisions can be made when necessary, which is one area where the expert knowledge of experienced conveyancing solicitors in Woking can make a real difference. Other responsibilities include:
- Carrying out the local conveyancing searches needed, which should flag any potential concerns with the property
- Assisting with your communications to your mortgage lender re: surveys
- Administrating the contracts and exchange, at which point the transaction becomes legally binding
- Arranging the transfer of the deposit
- Organising completion of the transaction and transfer of funds
