Services
Buying and selling a property is a major undertaking and, for most of us, a big life event - so make sure you instruct a conveyancing firm that suits you - at Specialist Property Lawyers you will have a dedicated lawyer acting for you, throughout the transaction, supported by a support team that you will get to know from the moment you instruct us.
Send a purchase contract to your buyer's property lawyer, with details of the property and its ownership. Answer any pre-contract enquires that the buyer may ask and provide copies of any existing guarantees, planning consents, etc. for their information. Request from you a fixtures and fittings list detailing what you will be leaving in the property and forward this to the buyers' property lawyer.
Conveyancing is one of the most time consuming aspects of any home move. If the property is empty and the buyer does not require a mortgage, a sale or purchase can be completed within a few days. However, this is very unusual and it is more likely a mortgage will need to be approved and there will be a chain of transactions to contend with.
Before contracts are exchanged you'll need to decide on a moving date (completion date) and agree this with everyone else linked to your move - i.e. the chain, discuss this with your estate agent, in the first instance. Consider avoiding Fridays and Bank Holidays when removal firms are in high demand and may charge more.

These guys are incredible! They are friendly with excellent comms and took a lot of pressure away from what is always a stressful time when homebuying. I found them to be flexible in their approach and full of knowledge and know-how. Special thanks go out to Simon, Alex, Jayne, and Heidi. In general the whole team were brilliant.

Professional, understanding and guidance
A big thank you for your professionalism, understanding and guidance in seeing us through the challenging process of selling our property. This is the second time in 5 years we have engaged SPL. We would not hesitate in using them again, would not hesitate in recommending them to others and the entire team are fully deserving of our gratitude.

Simon who was the solicitor dealing with my first purchase was great. Always keeping me up to date and on top of any possible issues from a legal point of view. I felt I was in complete safe hands throughout the process. I will definitely be returning again.

We received an amazing property conveyancing service; Lorraine and colleagues were reliable, quick, and took extra time to discuss with us and give us their expert advice when we needed it. It has been immensely reassuring to have the team at Specialist Property Lawyers by our side and we will certainly use them again if the need arises.
