Instructing a Solicitor
When you have accepted an offer on your property, you will need to instruct
a Solicitor to carry out all the legal aspects of selling.
Most mortgage lenders will accept your family solicitor or any other
solicitor that you choose to complete your sale. The job of your Solicitor
is to ensure that the property that is being sold will at the end of the
deal, be yours with out a doubt. Your Solicitor will also check that the
property is not going to be affected by any local council plans, or built
on contaminated land or that it is a listed building. The Solicitor will
also check that the person selling is the legal owner of the property,
by checking that they have the Title Deeds. They will tell you at this
point if there is any confusion at all regarding private footpaths, boundaries
and rights of way. |

and final searches have been done and that the money has been transferred
and you have the keys to your new house.
