These are forms completed by the seller, explaining the condition and other information about the property including what items are to be included in the sale. The solicitor drafts an initial sale contract This is the initial paperwork and contracts issued to the purchaser’s solicitor to enable them to raise enquiries (questions) about the property being sold. Solicitor replies to enquiries raised by the buyer’s solicitor This is where the purchaser will ask questions about the property. For instance, if the property is leasehold, the seller's solicitor will ask who the managing agent is. How long is the lease? Are you leaving the curtains (Fixtures & Fittings)? Is there any buildings insurance? Terms are agreed and a date is set for completion Contracts are exchanged The seller and purchaser become contractually bound by the terms of the contract. This means they must either complete on the sale or forfeit their deposit (typically 5-10 percent of the sale price). Completion The day when the purchaser takes ownership of the property [/vc_column_text][vc_custom_heading text=”RSL-LAW can help with your property sale” font_container=”tag:h3|text_align:left|color:%23d30b0e” use_theme_fonts=”yes”][vc_column_text]You can get an instant online conveyancing quote or call us on 020 7060 5333 to get your sale underway today.

[vc_row css=”.vc_custom_1555330217501{padding-top: 0px !important;}”][vc_column][vc_column_text]RSL-LAW conveyancing solicitors adopt a proactive approach to conveyancing, helping drive your purchase forward and ultimately helping you to make your move faster. When carrying out the legal work for your purchase, your property lawyer will represent your interests and gather and review all the necessary checks and searches.[/vc_column_text][vc_custom_heading text=”WHAT RSL-LAW CONVEYANCING SOLICITOR DOES FOR YOU” font_container=”tag:h3|text_align:left|color:%23d30b0e” use_theme_fonts=”yes”][vc_column_text]When you instruct a conveyancing solicitor through RSL-LAW we endeavour to meet any requirements you have to have a solicitor near to you. Once instructed, your conveyancing solicitor ensures the seller has the legal right to sell the property, that the land itself is free from issues and that all financing is in order. They will ask the seller’s solicitor a number of questions (known as enquiries) about the property’s use and history and carry out important property searches. Your solicitor must also check the mortgage arrangements, as well as looking after the lender’s interest where a mortgage is being taken out. There is more work and risk involved when representing a buyer because of the legal principle known as caveat emptor or “buyer beware”. This means it is the responsibility of the buyer’s solicitors to raise all pertinent questions about the property. Buyers must be aware there is no obligation on the seller to disclose anything unless asked directly.[/vc_column_text][vc_custom_heading text=”WHAT IS THE CONVEYANCING PROCESS WHEN PURCHASING A PROPERTY?” font_container=”tag:h3|text_align:left|color:%23d30b0e” use_theme_fonts=”yes”][vc_column_text]The following are the keys stages of the purchase conveyancing process once an offer has been accepted: ID documents and instruction forms are completed by the client The purchaser’s conveyancing solicitor receives contracts from the seller's solicitor for review The solicitor raises enquiries of the seller’s solicitor Searches are ordered from local authorities, the Environment Agency etc. Terms are agreed and a date is set for completion Exchange contracts Completion – the day you move in Post-completion formalities – this is the finalising of the stamp duty payment to HMRC, registering of the title at the Land Registry and dealing with the final documents to the client.

Finding a property – Week 0 When you’re purchasing property, you’ll likely want to view multiple properties to make sure you find the perfect house or flat. If you do, take a look at our property search guide. In the UK, this process generally takes 8-12 weeks, at the end of which you’ll make an offer on a property. Making an offer – Week 8-12 Once you’ve made an offer on a property and it has been accepted, it’s time to sort out the legal and financial aspects of your purchase. You will need to make sure your mortgage has been approved, and appoint a solicitor to take care of contracts and other legal issues. During this time, you’ll also need to instruct a surveyor to carry out the necessary reports and surveys on the property. Legal Due Diligence and exchanging contracts – Week 12-20 Your solicitor will review the contract received from the seller’s solicitor and carry out any necessary legal due diligence. They will also carry out searches which they will report to you on before exchange of contracts.  After the legal work is completed, the next stage in the purchase is exchanging contracts. At this point, you’ll be required to pay the property deposit. Once contracts are signed, you are legally bound to follow through with the purchase. Completion – Week 20-24 Completion happens shortly after the exchange of contracts and is the stage at which legal ownership of the property transfers to you. You’ll need to pay the remainder of the sale price to the sellers, and you must make sure you have appropriate property insurance from the date of completion, even if you haven’t moved in yet.
