Why You Need A Solicitor When Selling A House

Conveyancing Posted 13 October 2025

If you are selling your house, you need a solicitor to make the process easier and more stress free. A solicitor can help reduce the risk of hold ups. They can help you avoid potential hold ups in the sale of the house too. Here at Burgh Thorpe Solicitors, we can be the solicitors you need when selling a house. We have experience as conveyancing solicitors, so you’ll know you’re in safe hands. We will take away the stress, worry and administrative burdens involved with selling your home.

Are you selling your home for the first time? If you do this without the expert advice of a conveyancer, you can incur some unexpected and avoidable costs.

For example, there are lots of things that you will need to prepare and budget for. It isn’t just the price of your property. There may be other associated costs with the purchase of your next home too. For example, land registry, stamp duty and survey costs. It’s important to plan for these costs so you are ready, and the purchase of your next home is not delayed.

It’s important that you get a thorough survey for your home. Not making the buyer aware of a potential fault can cause the sale of the house to fall through, cost you more money or a re-negotiation on the value of the property. These are things that will either slow down or stop the sale of your property.

Every house sale is unique, but there is a set process that your solicitor will follow when selling a house. They will outline the process for you before it begins. They will be the contact point between the buyer, the buyer’s solicitor and other third parties involved in the sale and purchase of your home. Your solicitor will prepare all required paperwork and contracts to ensure you, and your property are protected.
