Navigating what is called the conveyancing process when buying a house can be a difficult, and possibly a complex and stressful journey, but our team of qualified and experienced lawyers will help you every step of the way.
- Choosing us
At Oglethorpe Sturton & Gillibrand, our team comprises experienced, responsive and pro-active lawyers to guide you through every stage of the process. We ensure that we keep you up to date, advise you in clear English about the property, legal title, searches, enquiries all accurately and efficiently, offering you confidence as you embark on your homeownership journey.
- Searches
Once you have confirmed that you would like to go ahead and use our services, our team will carry out all the necessary investigations and searches on the property as well as our necessary ID, proof of funds and compliance checks. This work involves examining land registry title information, checking the contract, reviewing searches, raising questions with the seller’s solicitor and providing you with all this information in short, concise correspondence.
- Mortgage and Survey
If you need a mortgage to purchase your new home, we will also act for your lender and make sure all their terms and conditions are complied with.
This is also a good time to consider having a comprehensive and suitable survey carried out so you can check the state and condition of the property, if any repairs are needed, or any significant costly works are required.
- Completing the Contract
When all the necessary paperwork is meticulously reviewed and any outstanding questions are resolved, we would love to meet you in person to go through the information for your purchase, sign the documents and talk about exchange of contracts and completion. The exchange of contracts is the process when the contracts are dated and exchanged with the seller’s solicitor and you have entered into the binding contract to purchase your new home. Exciting times!
- Completion
Ready for the big day, we oversee the transfer of ownership with meticulous attention to detail, care and guidance. Our proactive approach ensures a seamless transition. With our dedication to delivering outstanding service, you can trust that the completion process will be managed with professionalism and attention to detail, allowing you to focus on the excitement of the home move and settling into your new home.
