First-Time Buyer? Key Questions to Ask

Buying your first home is an exciting, albeit daunting, journey. With the right questions in hand, you can navigate the process more smoothly and avoid common pitfalls. PJE Solicitors are here to guide you through the complexities of residential conveyance. 

Here are crucial questions to ask as a first-time buyer.

Understanding the Conveyancing Process

Conveyancing is the legal process of transferring property from one owner to another. It involves several key steps, including conducting property searches, drafting and exchanging contracts, and completing the sale.

Property law can be complex and nuanced. Choosing a solicitor specialising in conveyancing services ensures that you're guided by someone who understands the intricacies of property transactions, helping you to navigate legal jargon and procedures efficiently.

Essential Questions for Your Conveyancer

What Are Your Fees and What Do They Include?

Understanding the cost breakdown of conveyancing services is crucial. Ask for a detailed list of fees, including any additional charges that might arise during the process.

How Will You Communicate With Me?

Regular updates are vital. Inquire about their communication methods and frequency to ensure you’re kept in the loop.

Can You Explain the Key Stages of the Process?

A good conveyancer will walk you through each stage, from initial instructions to completion, helping you understand what to expect.

What Property Searches Will You Conduct?

Property searches can uncover important details about the property, such as planning permissions and potential disputes. Clarify which searches will be done.

Are There Any Potential Legal Issues With the Property?

Your conveyancer should identify any legal issues early in the process, such as boundary disputes or issues with the property title.

What Happens on Completion Day?

Understanding the completion process, including the transfer of funds and keys, helps prepare you for the big day.

How Can I Prepare for Unexpected Delays?

Delays can happen. Ask how to best prepare for these and what contingency plans are in place.
