Legal Help & Support For Your Journey

We understand that buying and selling a property can be stressful, especially if you have never been through the process before. The process can seem confusing, you might find it difficult to understand what you need to do and when you need to do it.

With this is mind, PLS has an experienced team on hand which will manage your case from start to finish offering all the advice and support you will need along the way. We are open evenings and weekends so you will always be able to speak to someone.

Get your property valued –Before you think about buying a new home, you should get the property which you intend to sell valued by a local estate agent. This will help you to form an overall budget.

Consider your finances –You should consider how much you can afford to spend on your next house as well as the equity in your current home. You may have to pay a larger deposit than the one you receive; therefore, you will need to check that you are financially able to do this. Bear in mind that there may be additional costs such as stamp duty which you will need to budget for.

Speak to a mortgage broker – Mortgage brokers can help you to find the right solution in buying a new property. This can make a complex process less confusing.

Find an estate agent – A good estate agent can get your property on the market quickly and begin the process of selling your home.

Get a conveyancing solicitor – This is where we come in. At PLS, our expert team of conveyancers will conduct numerous property searches on the property which you intend to purchase once contracts have been received and before contracts are exchanged between the parties. We will also ensure that contracts are issued as quickly as possible for your home which you are intending to sell. You may be required to answer several enquiries which are raised by your buyer’s solicitor. We can provide you with advice on the house buying process and ensure your sale and purchase go through smoothly and without delay.

Set a completion date – Once everything comes together, you’ll be ready to set a completion date and contracts can be exchanged. This is when the funds will be transferred, and keys will be handed over. Our team are experienced in negotiating a completion date that works for everyone.

Move in – Once the process is completed and keys are exchanged, you will finally be able to move into your new home.
