Conveyance Guide
There are three main stages involved in any conveyancing transaction and we have set out below a summary of what each solicitor does at each stage.
Sellers solicitor · Applies for your title deeds and asks you to fill in enquiry forms · Prepares a contract and sends this out with a legal information pack · Answers any additional enquiries buyers solicitor may have · Negotiates the moving (completion) date Buyers solicitor · Asks you for money on account of expenses · Receives contract and other papers from sellers solicitor and asks additional enquiries if necessary · Carries out local authority search · Receives mortgage offer · Reports to you with contract for signature and requests deposit (or uses deposit from sale - if any)
