HOUSE SALES AND PURCHASES

Douglas Wright Solicitors can handle all aspects of property transactions, ensuring everything is done correctly, legally and efficiently.

Handling Legal Procedures (Conveyancing)

We conduct searches to check for issues like planning restrictions, flood risks or disputes over property boundaries. We will ensure the property has a clear title and there are no legal claims against it. We will draft or review the sale contract, ensuring your rights are protected.

Managing Financial Transactions

We will manage the transfer of deposits and balance payments securely. Our team will ensure you pay the correct amount and handle submissions to HMRC.

Liaising with Key Parties

We will manage communications with your bank to secure or release funds. We will negotiate contract terms and ensure both parties meet their obligations.

Legal Protection and Risk Management

If issues arise (eg. boundary disputes or defects found during surveys), we will  negotiate resolutions. We perform identity checks and use secure banking practices to prevent property fraud.

 

Handling the Exchange and Completion

We will ensure that both parties commit to the sale legally. After completion, we will register your ownership with the Land Registry.

Guidance on Complex Situations

We will navigate the additional complexities of property types such as Shared Ownerships or Leaseholds. In a property chain, we will coordinate timings to reduce the risk of collapse.

Legal Aid and Compliance

We will ensure that all legal obligations, such as property disclosures and safety certifications, are met.
