Selling property in Anerley
Your expert conveyancing solicitor's role when selling a property in Anerley, will include:
- Draft contracts – Your conveyancing solicitor drafts the initial legal contract to be sent to the buyer's solicitor.
- Responding to enquiries – your solicitor responds to any questions the buyer's solicitor may have (this is where you'll find out if you are missing documents, which can cause delays to your sale).
- Investigating issues – your solicitor may need to complete further investigation to try and satisfy them.
- Exchange contracts – once the buyer's solicitor has satisfied their enquiries, contracts are finalised and exchanged
- On the day of completion – your solicitor receives the money for the sale, discharges the mortgage (if required), pays the estate agent, deducts their fee and then sends the net sale proceeds to you.
- Post completion – your solicitor receives the DS1 discharge documents and, when leasehold, settles your liabilities for ground rent and service charges.
Our Anerley conveyancing solicitors' cost for selling a property starts from £723 INC VAT.

Local conveyancing solicitor
Are online licensed conveyancing solicitors better than property lawyers near me?
Before the internet, finding licensed conveyancing solicitors in Anerley would have meant to consult your local phone book or just to take a walk down your local high street to find your conveyancer near me.
Before modern ID checking processes your local conveyancing solicitors would need to meet with you to confirm who you were as part of their money laundering and 'Know Your Client' checks. Solicitors previously used to use this time to talk through the transaction with you in person - a part of the service that was reflected within their conveyancing solicitors fees. Nowadays, the legal process can be completed without face to face meetings, using online ID checks and new ID process.
Although local knowledge becomes critical when choosing your RICS surveyor for a home buyers survey, your solicitor in all cases, whether they're a 'conveyancing solicitor near me' or based 200 miles away will carry out their work by processing documents and forms, virtually all of which can be obtained and/or transmitted electronically.
There is no need for them to be based locally and you'll usually find that conveyancer near me will charge extra for business conducted 'in person' - such as ID checking - and that their time is better spent focusing on the paperwork. We welcome queries from our clients and act as the vital link between you and your solicitor which means you're kept in the loop and your solicitor is fully engaged in getting your move completed as quickly and efficiently as possible.

Conveyancing FAQs: Property Lawyers Anerley
Greater London is an area which contains London, the capital of the United Kingdom (which itself centres on the Cities of London and Westminster) and a number of surrounding boroughs which are administered as London boroughs and which are the overall executive responsibility of the Mayor of London. It contains a large number of constituencies, each represented by an MP and it should be noted that these are not the same as, nor even always contiguous with the borders of the boroughs.
Many parts of Greater London were originally administered by the counties which surround London and these counties are often called the home counties. Enfield, for example, used to be classed as being part of Middlesex, but is now near the northern border of Greater London. Greater London's borders often coincide with a zone of 'green belt': areas where it has been decided that open spaces, parks, forests and wildlife reserves should act as a buffer against urban sprawl. London has numerous landmarks, anything from Big Ben and the Houses of Parliament to Karl Marx's grave in Highgate Cemetery.
Greater London contains more than 9 million inhabitants, a number growing daily, and as this is approximately 1/7 of the population of the UK. It can be seen that Greater Londoners have a large influence on the rest of the country politically and this is enhanced by the concentration of skilled workers gravitating towards the capital.

What are the conveyancing costs?
Anerley Conveyancing Solicitor fees vary between online conveyancing solicitors, high street conveyancers or housing solicitors introduced by your estate agent.
The actual conveyancing costs, outside of the legal work, should be fixed, including:
For buyers: stamp duty, land registration, property searches, ID searches and leasehold charges (if buying a leasehold property).
For sellers: office copies, title plan and management information (if selling a leasehold property).
Make sure to budget for all of the above conveyancing costs and to get a fixed fee conveyancing quote from several firms, to compare value.
Making the right choice of solicitor is key to the whole process:
- Cheap Conveyancing
- Fast Conveyancing
- Best Conveyancing Service
Can you exchange contracts as soon as you have an offer accepted?
If your vendor is willing to do so as well, technically you can exchange contracts on the day you have your offer accepted as a buyer; this is often termed an attended exchange of contracts, but you should be extremely wary of doing so.
This option is invariably only open to cash buyers; mortgage lenders expect the process to take longer so that safeguards such as property searches can be returned and that there is a reasonable time period for the buyer's solicitor to make enquiries and for the answers to be returned.
An attended exchange of contracts:
- is more expensive than for standard conveyancing;
- puts more pressure on the solicitors from both sides to 'get it right' in a reduced period of time, and
- makes it a huge challenge to carry out the normal checks on a property being sold.
The advantages are clearly that, assuming all goes well, both sides will complete a property transaction in a far shorter time scale than normal, so the buyer gets their property and the seller gets the requisite funds. This is not an option to be taken lightly for the reasons stated.
