Here, they look at dealing with a  Conveyancing Solicitor.

HAVING SOLD your house, the next step is to appoint a Conveyancing Solicitor.

Some vendors will have already got one in mind who they may have used before, while others may never have sold before, or it may have been a considerable period of time since they had sold a property.

For some people this can be a quick decision while others may not have any idea who to appoint.

To save time and help with this decision, Bridges Estate Agents advise their clients to start thinking about choosing a Conveyancing Solicitor as soon as they bring their property to the market.

If there is a delay in appointing a Conveyancing Solicitor once a sale has been agreed, even a two week delay may have an impact on the final stage of selling.

A Conveyancing Solicitor specialises in property sales and they are always the preferred option. However, most Law Firms have a conveyancing department to their business and there is a great deal of choice.

When making the decision on who to appoint, it is always advisable to ask for a full and final quotation which will include search fees and transaction fees as well as the fee for the Conveyancing Solicitor to undertake the transaction.

Once your sale has commenced and the Conveyancing Solicitors for both the buyer and seller starts their work, your Estate Agent will also assist with keeping the sale on track.

They will liaise with Property Surveyors and other third parties that may be appointed by either party, ensuring buyers and sellers are kept up to date, in particular with any issues and assisting with completion dates with the agreement of your Conveyancing Solicitors.

Regular communication with your Estate Agent is key to ensuring the sale proceeds on time and efficiently.

During the sale vendors and buyers alike can find this a stressful and uncertain time, so it is important to keep in contact with your Estate Agent and make them aware of any worries or concerns as they are there to assist you.
