In this blog post, we’ll be discussing the conveyancing process in depth, the role of conveyancers, how to choose the right one for you, and what to expect throughout the process. We’ll also be sharing some tips and advice to help you navigate the world of conveyancing.
What is Conveyancing?
Conveyancing is the legal process of transferring property ownership from one person to another. It involves a lot of legal paperwork and negotiations, and can be a stressful and complicated process. If done incorrectly could leave the buyer and seller exposed to negligence and they losing not hundreds of pounds but tens of thousands in loss.
The Role of a Conveyancer
A conveyancer is a legal professional who specialises in the conveyancing process. They are responsible for handling all legal aspects of the transaction and making sure that everything runs smoothly.
What should a Conveyancer do for you?
- -Conducts property searches to uncover any potential issues they need to warn you about. Problem not all lawyers do pick the right ones for you.
- -Drafts and reviews contracts
- -Handles negotiations to resolve disputes between the buyer and seller. This is where lawyers can get it wrong.
- -Registers the property with the Land Registry. This also has risks of the lawyer getting it wrong. Wring or late registrations can lead to fraud and a criminal taking the property even when a buyer has transferred hundreds of thousands and homeless.
- -Manages the transfer of funds between the parties. This is another high risk of fraud as some lawyers don’t adequately check bank details allowing criminals intercepting these with cyber-crime.
Choosing a Conveyancer
When choosing a conveyancer, it’s important to do your research and find someone who is reliable and experienced. Why your choice of conveyancer is crucial. Because errors are commonly made by conveyancers. In fact out of all loss claims made against lawyers, 40% are made against conveyancers.
-Don’t go cheap. How can you risk the hundreds of thousands of pounds in one of the biggest financial transactions of your lives on a cheap conveyancer or solicitor. You can’t get good and cheap. Don’t sacrifice quality as a few pounds saved up front is likely to costs tens of thousands of pounds later. It’s ok to take risks sometimes but not on your home.
-Check for Trustpilot reviews or other online reviews to get an idea of the conveyancer’s reputation. At least 500 5* star.
-Check their Google reviews. They should have over 1000 5* star. They need to be that good.
