Conveyancing
We have recently developed a new service for you to access your
details via this website and track the progress of your sale or purchase.
This is a new service designed so our clients can have easy access
to information even when the office is closed!
At every step of your transaction we will send you an email and
a text message to keep you up to date with any developments. Our
conveyancing team at Aletta Shaw are here to help you through every
stage and will support you in any way we can.
We offer fixed fees with no hidden extras. Please see our calculator for estimates.
An easy way to understand conveyancing
Conveyancing is the legal transfer of a property from one person
to another. The conveyancing process ensures that the purchaser actually
owns all the property, land and rights that they have paid for.
For property sales our role is to:
| - |
Obtain your title documents, if you have a mortgage your deeds
will be with your lender otherwise you will be aware of the whereabouts |
| - |
Forward copies of the title documents and draft contract to
the proposed purchaser's solicitor |
| - |
Reply to any enquiries that may be raised by the proposed purchaser's
solicitor |
| - |
Forward Contracts to you for your signature |
| - |
Deal with Exchange of Contracts and thereafter requesting redemption
figures and preparing accounts |
| - |
Deal with completion of your sale and forwarding any balance
due to you |
For property purchases our role is to:
| - |
Ensure that there are no unforseen legal problems with the
property you wish to purchase |
| - |
A full structural survey is recommended |
| - |
When we receive draft documentation from the proposed seller's
solicitor we will raise additional enquiries where necessary.
Once a mortgage offer is received, local authority, drainage
and enviro searches will be carried out |
| - |
When all documentation is received and we are satisfied all
enquiries have been dealt with satisfactorily we will prepare
a report and forward all documentation to you. The report will
point out all salient facts in relation to your purchase |
| - |
We will request that you call into the office to go through
the documentation at which time you will sign your contract,
provide authority to exchange, if required sign a mortgage deed
and you will be explained your rights in connection with the
same. A deposit will be requested in the sum of 10% of the purchase
price in the first instance or a reduction will be negotiated
prior to exchange |
| - |
A date for completion is also agreed |
| - |
Once exchange of contracts has taken place we must request
your mortgage advance, accounts are prepared and forwarded to
you requesting any balance due to enable your purchase to take
place |
| - |
Completion is effected and thereafter we deal with registration
whereby the property is transferred from the seller to the buyer |
| - |
Once the title deeds are received from the Land Registry duly
registered into your name the deeds will be forwarded to you |
|
