Selling a Property

Our property lawyers know you want to get your current house sold quickly and efficiently so you can focus on moving into your new home.

Our team of property experts are on hand to take away some of the stress and help deal with the legal issues that come with selling a property. We can assist you with:

Identifying the property documents your buyers will need, such as evidence of planning permission for extensions or damp-proof guarantees
Providing the buyer’s solicitors with standard information about the property and answering their additional questions
Preparing and exchanging contracts for the sale
Completion of the sale and handling of any associated purchase

There are many steps and legal requirements which need to be taken before a change in ownership of any property can take place. The process can be complicated and stressful but our property team will help make your transaction as smooth as possible.

Residential Property

Buying or selling a property can be a daunting process as it involves important decisions and a huge amount of legal paperwork. The conveyancing paperwork is cumbersome, whether you are selling or buying, purchasing with a partner or are on your own.

An expert Residential Property Solicitor can ensure that you have all the documents you need to sell your property and that all the right questions have been asked if you are buying a property. If problems occur your conveyancing lawyer can help you find solutions to help stop the property chain from collapsing.

With many years of property law expertise, our property experts will work with you through the conveyancing process including:

Preparing sale paperwork
Answering sale enquiries
Keeping the chain on track when you are buying and selling
Addressing issues that crop up such as restrictive covenants, easements and lack of building regulation consent and assessing options and problem-solving
Exchanging contracts
Handling completion day
Sorting out Land Registry paperwork

Buying a Property

Once you have found your dream property and have agreed on a price through the estate agent, you need a specialist Residential Property Solicitor to investigate the property and handle the legal paperwork, including your mortgage. Buying a property requires a lot of due diligence work by your Conveyancing Solicitor to make sure you, and your mortgage lender, are protected.

Due Diligence in Property Transactions

We will always carry out due diligence to help identify any potential risks involved in your purchase. The due diligence process involves:

Enquiries before contract
Supplemental enquiries once surveys and search results are available
Searches – these depend on the type and location of the property
Title investigations to check there are no nasty surprises, such as an extension not having the necessary planning permission or a restrictive covenant that will stop you from using the property for your planned purpose

If due diligence raises issues this does not necessarily have to be the end of your sale or property purchase as you may want to explore price reductions or certain insurance policies.

Our Knaresborough team can help you with:

Auction sales and purchases
Buying and selling residential property, including property investments, new builds and buy-to-lets
