The Process of Buying and Selling

Buying or selling a property involves a legal process and both the seller and the buyer need a solicitor or legal conveyancer to do the legal work to safeguard the interests of both the buyer and seller.

Buyers and sellers are responsible for appointing their own solicitors and the same solicitor cannot act for both parties. You will expect to receive an efficient service to keep the conveyancing process moving at a good pace. You must be confident that your solicitor looks after your interests and works with the other solicitor to make sure that the process moves towards legal completion as efficiently as possible.

Your estate agent has to continue to be involved in coordinating the process and our job does not end when we have found you a buyer. At james we we have specially trained staff work for the sellers to chase progress of the sale.

Choosing a good solicitor or conveyancer is very important. As with agents don’t always choose by selecting the lowest fee, remember the lowest fee also means a lower level of service. It is sensible to work with a solicitor who you have used before or who works with an agent on a regular basis.

At james we have professional working associations with a number of solicitors which helps the process run more smoothly. A solicitor with local offices makes life easier when it comes to signing documents and making contact.
