A solicitor is a legal or conveyance professional who will be responsible for analysing and drawing up contracts, handling Land Registry, managing the flow of money between parties and will also be responsible for stamp duty payments. Sure, it may seem that the job can be handled by you, guided with a few hours dedicated to research. However, it is vital to hire one in order for you to scan possible options, make the right decisions and take the best possible course of actions.
The process of handling property can be tedious and tasking and should not be treated lightly since dollar signs are included. Having a solicitor is more like having a best friend through a break up. They will educate you on the thorough process and make sure that all your decisions are made in a well-informed manner. Also, it saves you a lot of time from trying to do it yourself and you can manage a property, whether it be buying or selling while working on your day job.
However, there are two types of professionals that can handle a property for you. It can either be a property solicitor or a conveyancer. A conveyancer much like a solicitor is licensed and are fully regulated and insured. The notable difference on the other hand is that conerancers are specialist property lawyers while solicitors are qualified lawyers with extensive training in a number of aspects of law. If you hire a solicitor to handle your property concerns, he may also be useful in the future when it comes to other legal matters such as divorce or taking someone to court.
However, it is important to note that solicitors may end up costing more than a fully licensed conveyance. Though, nevertheless, whatever option you choose to push through with will make your property handling matters a lot easier than doing it yourself.
