  • Review the contract pack supplied to us by the seller
  • Obtain and report to you on the results of any searches that you have requested
  • Raise any necessary legal enquiries with the other solicitor
  • Approve the contract, transfer deed and mortgage deed as applicable
  • Report to you to confirm the terms of your mortgage if applicable
  • Report to you on the legal title to the Property you are buying and discuss any concerns
  • Complete the purchase, file the stamp duty return and register it at the Land Registry

On a sale we will:

  • Verify your identity and source of funds
  • and prepare a contract pack for the Buyer
  • Answer any necessary legal enquiries with the other solicitor
  • Approve the contract and transfer deed

  • Return any balance money to you as you direct

On a re-mortgage we will:

  •     Verify your identity and source of funds

  •     Raise any necessary enquiries with you
  •     Report to you to confirm the terms of your mortgage
  •     Complete the new mortgage, settle your old mortgage and register it at the Land Registry.

Are there any additional charges?

If additional work is required and this will incur further costs we will discuss with you why it is necessary and what options may be open to you before agreeing a fee for that work or carrying out the additional work.
