When buying a property you definitely need a Solicitor on your side.
They know all the pitfalls which can arise when completing the sale
of a property and are there to advise and guide you throughout the
entire process.
When you are buying a property, they will communicate with the
vendors solicitor and ascertain exactly what is included in the agreed
price.
Another very important enquiry which your solicitor will make will be
to the local authority. This is called a search and asks the authority
about the things like road access, drainage, rights of way, boundaries,
plans for future development and a host of other questions.
Your solicitor will draw up draft contracts and send these to the
vendors solicitor for them to study and return as agreed or with further
questions. The financial side of matters is also taken care of by your
solicitor, who will receive the loan from your lender and then distribute
the relevant amounts to the various parties concerned.
There is a great deal more to buying a house than may at first be
thought and there are also a large number of areas which need the
expert attention of a solicitor. Failure to use a Solicitor can end up
costing you a fortune and turning that dream home into a nightmare.
