What does a conveyancing solicitor do for first-time buyers?

A conveyancing solicitor handles all the legal work involved in buying a property, helping first-time buyers move from an accepted offer through to completion with as little stress as possible.

They review and explain the contract provided by the seller’s solicitor, carry out essential property searches and check the legal title to make sure the seller has the right to sell the property. They also raise any legal questions that need answering, liaise with your mortgage lender and ensure all legal requirements are met before the purchase goes ahead.

As the transaction progresses, your solicitor manages the transfer of funds and ensures the property is correctly registered in your name with HM Land Registry after completion.
