1. Sales and Purchases
The sale or purchase of your home is probably the largest financial transaction you will ever undertake.
Initially, it may seem to be a daunting prospect with numerous forms to complete and terms with which you may not be familiar.
We understand this and will aim to make the process painless and straightforward.
It is our policy to deal with your matter quickly and efficiently to ensure that you complete your move with as little stress as possible.
You may wish to look at our web page dealing with the main steps in a conveyancing transaction (purchase/sale) for an overview of what happens.
You may be obtaining a mortgage in connection with your purchase. If this is the case, then generally, your mortgagee will also instruct our firm to act for them which helps to speed up the transaction and saves you costs as you will then only have to pay one set of solicitors fees.
If you are buying the property jointly with someone else, we will also be able to advise you as to whether or not you should purchase as joint tenants or tenants in common; if you should have a trust deed and whether it would be advisable to make a will and we are able to prepare this for you.
