When should you instruct a conveyancing solicitor?
Instructing a solicitor for conveyancing should be done as early as possible once you’ve either accepted an offer or have had an offer accepted on a property.
However, many individuals will choose to contact a conveyancing solicitor prior to house-hunting or putting their own home on the market as this can help get the conveyancing process underway.
Not to mention, as a seller, instructing a solicitor for conveyancing prior to accepting an offer can be beneficial for speeding up your property sale.
This is because a wide range of necessary paperwork can be completed by a solicitor without an offer on the table. This includes obtaining copies of your title deeds from the Land Registry, preparing the contract (minus the price), and carrying out restrictive covenant checks.
How to instruct a solicitor for conveyancing
When it comes to instructing a solicitor for conveyancing, it’s crucial that you do your research beforehand.
Instead of quickly opting for the first solicitor you find once you’ve had an offer accepted, exploring all your options and choosing a reliable solicitor ahead of time could save you money, time, and all kinds of unwanted headaches.
