Sale & Purchase of Houses and Flats
Colemans Solicitors LLP of Maidenhead offers a combined Home Information Pack (“HIP”) and Conveyancing service enabling us to streamline the entire process for you. This will place you in an advantageous position in today’s changing market place. With the Government’s introduction of HIPs you are not able to actively market a property that has 3 bedrooms or more unless you have submitted your form of proof that you have requisitioned an HIP. We can have your HIP ready before you even instruct an Estate Agent if you make us your first point of contact when deciding to sell your property. As your solicitor, we are in a good position to merge HIPs with the conveyancing aspects of property sales because we can obtain and see all the relevant information from the start.
With Colemans’ guiding you through the complex issues involved in buying and selling your house you will have the advantage of being able to monitor the progress of your sale or purchase even when our offices are closed by checking on our secure Website.
It is in your best interests that you contact us as soon as possible after you have decided to embark upon buying or selling your home. We can then give you independent advice in connection with surveys and valuations, mortgages, deposits, life assurance, estate agents and a number of other features about which you will need to know.
We work with today’s technology, utilising electronic mail in as many instances as possible, which meets today’s high demands and needs for a speedy response whilst providing you with a high standard of service. After completion we deal with the stamp duty land tax requirements and registration of your title. In the case of leasehold properties we give notice of the transfer to the Landlord, dealing with the issue of a new share certificate where a management company is involved and generally ensuring that all procedures have been complied with.
Whether or not we have acted on your behalf in your conveyancing transaction, we will be delighted to advise and assist you with regard to your obligations under any covenants which may affect your property, the buildings insurance, boundaries, rights and any other property related matters.
