What Does A Conveyancing Lawyer Do?

A conveyancing lawyer assumes several key responsibilities. Their involvement will ensure your position is protected and your investment is sound.

Examples of the types of tasks a conveyancing lawyer will carry out on your behalf include the following:

• Drafting And Reviewing Contracts

The seller’s conveyancing lawyer will prepare the draft contract of sale and other crucial documentation for review by the conveyancing lawyer acting on behalf of the buyer.

The conveyancing lawyer’s key concern in connection with this aspect of their job is ensuring the documentation is clear and unequivocal, we well as fair to their client and fully protects their client’s legal position. For example, the buyer’s conveyancing lawyer will want to confirm that the seller is the legal owner of the property and at liberty to sell it to the buyer and that there are no issues, such as rights of way, that may impact their client’s use of it.

• Arranging Property Searches

One of the key roles of a conveyancing lawyer acting for a buyer is conducting the various searches that are required to uncover any issues with the property that might not be immediately apparent, and that may affect their client’s proposed purchase.

A conveyancing lawyer will tailor the searches they carry out to the nature and location of the property in question. Examples of some of the searches the conveyancing lawyer may undertake include the following:

  • Local Authority Searches. These searches highlight any issues, such as planning concerns and enforcement notices, that may impact the desirability of the property.
  • Environmental Searches. These searches inform the conveyancing lawyer of any environmental risks, such as flooding or contamination risks, that may impact the property.
  • Water and Drainage Searches. These searches tell the conveyancing solicitor about the property’s water and sewer connections.

Depending on where the property is located, further searches, such as coal mining searches, may also be required.

Property searches play a crucial role in conveyancing transactions. They reveal critical information about the property and its desirability. Getting this aspect of the conveyancing process wrong can have disastrous consequences for a buyer. Accordingly, working with an experienced conveyancing lawyer who understands what searches are needed and can interpret the results correctly is vital.

• Raising Enquiries And Negotiating Terms

Once they have reviewed the contract of sale and accompanying documentation and scrutinised the property search results, the buyer’s conveyancing lawyer will raise enquiries with the seller’s conveyancing lawyer to clarify any ambiguities or resolve any issues.

These enquiries might comprise straightforward queries relating to matters like building consents, or they might involve more complex issues, such as boundary disputes. The seller’s conveyancing lawyer must then collate the information and evidence required to respond to the buyer’s enquiries.

If the seller’s responses to the buyer’s enquiries indicate that there may be issues with the property, the buyer’s conveyancing lawyer will advise their client on the potential implications of those issues. Depending on the severity of the problem, the conveyancing lawyer may devise a strategy to address them and protect their client’s position, or they may advise their client to abandon the proposed purchase.

• Exchange Of Contracts

Once both parties are satisfied with the terms of the deal and are happy to proceed, the conveyancing lawyers will arrange for the exchange of contracts. Following exchange, the transaction becomes legally binding.

At exchange, depending on who they act for, the conveyancing lawyer will:

  • Agree on a completion date with the other side
  • Prepare the final contract for signature
  • Receive or pay the deposit
  • Ensure that all the agreed terms are incorporated into the final contract
  • Completion

On completion day, the conveyancing lawyers coordinate the dating of the contracts and the transfer of funds. Once the seller’s conveyancing lawyer confirms receipt of the purchase money, the keys to the property will be released, and ownership will be transferred to the buyer.

In addition to assisting clients with the sale and purchase of property, our conveyancing lawyers are experienced in many other aspects of conveyancing law and practice. For example, they routinely advise clients wishing to buy land or release or transfer equity in their property.

A huge thank you to everyone involved, I can now be reassured that the most precious thing in my life is protected if anything was to happen to me.”
