How Can Property Solicitors Help Us

By Jack Wogan


It can be really complicated to sell and buy real estate without the help of the legal professionals that can advise you on the intricacies you will normally have to deal with. You should know that it is a criminal offence to draw up a sale contract or prepare a contract for sale, transfer, conveyance lease or mortgage when you are not an attorney. Only the solicitors are qualified to take the work of conveyance. In short this means that they can handle contract law, land law and trusts.

You should know that selling or buying a house is not that easy, especially when you have to respect the National Conveyancing Protocol. Property solicitors though will help you understand your rights and obligations and also they will take care of the contract and the transaction for you. With their assistance you will also be able to find out what your rights and obligations are.

The work of property solicitors is demanding as there are many things that the solicitors will have to do when you are interested in selling or buying a property such as: drawing up the contract, dealing with all the property related issues that might arise, completing the sale and making sure that any existing lending against the property is redeemed on completion.

The property solicitors, the seller's and the buyer's, will have to work together in order to make sure that all the legal documents are in order. The most important things that they have to resolve are the undertakings. These are actually promises made by the solicitors that oblige themselves to do something. One of the most important of the undertakings is related to the fact that the mortgages on the property will have to be removed when the house is sold. A solicitor can be accused of misconduct when he fails for keep his promises. Such an act can attract penalties and also there are high chances that the solicitor will be struck off and will lose the right to work in the future.

The final step after the paper work is ready and after the transaction is completed both the property solicitors will have to make sure that the new owners are registered at the Land registry together with any mortgage lender. This is a very important detail that we cannot neglect. Choosing the best property solicitors is very important this is why we have to make sure that we do some research in advance.
