Jonathan Berney Consultant Surveyors and Valuers Legal Division can provide you with a very competitive quotation of conveyancing on the purchase or sale of a property anywhere in England and Wales.
You will be able to track the progress of your sale or purchase online so there will be no more concerns relating to where the transaction is at.
Purchasing
If you are purchasing a property in England or Wales the Solicitor or Licensed Conveyancer who acts for you will receive a contract from the sellers solicitors, make the necessary enquiries of the vendors lawyers and conduct searches via the local authority and the land registry. They will examine the Title Deeds and, if you are arranging a mortgage, advise the lender on the legal aspects of their security.
They may advise you on your responsibilities as a freeholder and your commitments if you are buying a leasehold property.
Your Conveyancer will ensure that you have the funds in place prior to exchange of contracts and effect an exchange thereafter obtaining the mortgage monies for completion, from the lender.
Selling
When you sell your property your legal representative will obtain the title deeds from you or from your lender if you have a mortgage, and will arrange for the preparation of a draft contract for submission to your purchasers’s lawyers, subsequently answering the questions raised by the other side.
They will guide you through to an exchange of contracts collecting the necessary deposit from the purchasers lawyer, and receive monies for completion of the sale on your behalf. They will disperse fees, including any estate agents commission and remit to you the balance of the purchase monies.
Buying and Selling
This is a combination of both of the above services and the solicitor will tie in your sale with any purchase you are making and when you are ready to exchange contracts the lawyer will ensure that the exchange of your purchase is carried out simultaneously with your sale.
