Bury Property Solicitor
Purchasing property is likely to be the most significant investment that you will make. It is wise to consult with the experienced Bury conveyancing solicitors at Crompton Halliwell to ensure the entire process runs smoothly and efficiently.
With roots in Bury stemming back more than 120 years, our team has a great depth of local knowledge as well as the country's law and statutory regulations. We will work closely with you to understand the dynamics of your particular situation and deliver advice that is both impartial and practical.
There are many factors relating to conveyancing that need to be considered, including:
- Offers and exchange of contracts: A buyer should ensure that any offers they make for a property are 'subject to contract.' This means that, if the survey shows up a defect or other problems arise, you can still change your mind. Once the contracts have been signed and exchanged by the solicitors, both buyer and seller are legally committed to the deal and cannot then go back on the decision. At this point, the buyer will usually pay 10 percent of the agreed price.
- Leasehold and freehold: If you buy the freehold of a property, you own both your home and the ground it stands on outright. Most flats and some houses are sold leasehold. This means you own your home for the period of the lease, and you have to pay ground rent to the freeholder or their managing agent.
At Crompton Halliwell, we use our extensive experience and breadth of knowledge to navigate clients through a broad array of situations, including:
- Sale and purchase of residential property
