Selling property in Billericay
Your expert conveyancing solicitor's role when selling a property in Billericay, will include:
- Draft contracts – Your conveyancing solicitor drafts the initial legal contract to be sent to the buyer's solicitor.

- Exchange contracts – once the buyer's solicitor has satisfied their enquiries, contracts are finalised and exchanged

Local conveyancing solicitor
Local conveyancing solicitor, property lawyer or licensed conveyancer?
When you search for licensed conveyancing solicitors near me, you may well wonder about the title of the legal professional you're looking to hire. Would property lawyers in Billericay be more appropriate? How about just 'conveyancer near me'?
Day-to-day, the vast majority of legal tasks required for a house move are carried out by several different people termed 'paralegals' and/or 'property conveyancers'. These terms refer to the fact that these professionals do not have formal membership - and qualifications - required to be either a solicitor, licensed conveyancer or legal executive.
Many of these individuals have many years of experience and keep your costs down by skilfully completing work at a lower rate than the solicitor who oversees the case, takes ultimate responsibility and signs-off the work.
In contrast, a qualified solicitor acting in the conveyancing field has the general training that a solicitor has - e.g. in employment law - but has chosen to specialise in conveyancing. They have to be a member of the Law Society in order to practise.

Conveyancing FAQs: Property Lawyers Billericay
Essex is not only a coastal county (the North Sea is to its east) but a home county too because it touches Greater London on its eastern borders. Its settlements vary from Colchester, which is very historical - used to be the capital of England as Camulodunum, to Southend - a seaside resort and Basildon, which is a comparatively modern urban development. The western side of Essex hosts many London workers and there are fast rail links to, for example, Shenfield from London Liverpool Street which aid many city workers.
Essex's county town is Chelmsford (and is the county's only city), where Essex County Cricket Club is based. Essex hosts Stansted Airport and various attractions such as the Lakeside Shopping Centre near Thurrock and the Epping Forest, a popular forest for camping and other activities. A large proportion of Essex's boundaries are bodies of water (the River Thames and the North Sea), with the remainder including Greater London, Hertfordshire, Cambridgeshire and Suffolk. Kent is across the River Thames to the south.
**Our panel of solicitors are regulated by the Solicitors Regulation Authority and conveyancing work is accredited with the Law Society's Conveyancing Quality Scheme.

Can you use a Lifetime ISA (LISA) to buy a home?
The Government introduced Lifetime ISAs in April 2017, and you can choose to put your LISA savings towards buying a new home.
You have to be aged between 18 and 40 to start up a LISA and can save up to £4,000 each year in one, and the Government offers a 25% bonus on top of the sum you've saved. If you want to put your savings towards buying a property – the value cannot exceed £450,000 - you can only do this once the account has been open for at least 1 year.
You can split the money you've saved into buying a property and contributing to your retirement funds. You can also pool your LISA savings with someone else's to buy a home.
