Things To Consider Before Buying Or Selling A Home

Embarking on the journey of buying or selling a property is undeniably exciting, especially for first-time buyers. However, we acknowledge that it can also be a source of stress, with uncertainties lingering until the final moment of legal completion. 

Finances: Will you be buying a house outright or do you need a mortgage? Should you wait until interest rates go down or strike when there’s a slight dip? There are so many things to consider when making a move, from both a buying and selling perspective. Choosing the right solicitor to work with is also a big factor in the conveyance journey. It’s important to work with a firm that takes the time to offer a personalised face-to-face service as the process can be confusing and time-consuming. Choosing one that offers a fixed-fee service can also be helpful when calculating your overall costs. At Wayman and Long, we understand these complex considerations, and are committed to guiding you through every step of the process. Our experienced team provides tailored advice for your specific needs, ensuring transparency from beginning to end.

Sale/Purchase Issues: Did you know that more than 35% of property sales fell through in 2023 (Quick Move Now)? When this happens, it’s important to note that even if it wasn’t your fault, you are still liable to pay for all of the solicitor’s fees incurred up to that point. Purchasing the Wayman and Long Cancellation Cover for just £150+VAT means that you won’t be charged should the sale not complete due to no fault of your own. Giving you that extra piece of mind that should something go wrong during the process, you will be covered.*

Clear Boundaries: It can be easy, with the initial excitement of moving home, to forget about handy-to-know things such as property boundaries, and rights of way. Usually, solicitors charge to ascertain whether there has been any boundary disputes in the past, or to clarify rights of way in a shared-access property. At Wayman and Long, our fixed-fee conveyance service for property sales includes a basic statutory regulation, meaning you get an overview of these critical details at no extra cost.

At Wayman & Long, our conveyance solicitors are here to make your property experience seamless and reassuring. From the moment your, or your buyer’s offer is accepted, to the finalisation of the sale, our team will provide dedicated legal support.
