So, what is property conveyancing?
Property conveyancing is the legal process involved when ownership of a property is transferred from the seller to the buyer. It traditionally starts when your offer is accepted. Your property conveyancer will then manage the process and be in contact right up until after the house sale is completed.
As your property conveyancers in Peterborough, we will handle the exchange of contract. We can also negotiate any details if needed too. Our property conveyancing solicitors will deal with the Land Registry on your behalf too. They will also handle local council searches as well as any other formal enquiries.
It is the role of the property conveyancer to review the mortgage offer from the lender too. They will also manage the collection and transfer of money for the purchase of the property. In addition, they will arrange for the payment of Stamp Duty Land Tax and other essential payments. If the land is leasehold they will notify the freeholder of the property sale too.
Throughout the process, your property conveyancer in Peterborough will be there for you, every step of the way. They will be on hand to offer support and guidance through the house buying process. If you any questions, they are here for you.
While it is not a legal requirement to work with a property conveyancer, it is highly recommended.
