Selling property in Finchley
Your expert conveyancing solicitor's role when selling a property in Finchley, 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.

Conveyancing FAQs: Property Lawyers Finchley
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.

How does my solicitor help if I haven’t had building regulations completed on the property I am selling?
When selling a property in England and Wales, you must provide as much information as possible to keep your buyer informed, as property transactions are sold under caveat emptor, or 'let the buyer beware'.
If you have had works completed on your property by a contractor and your buyer asks for certification of the works completed, you will need to provide this under the planning permission and building regulations or obtain post-work reconciliation.
There are a couple of options if you do not have certificates or sign-off on the works completed on your property; the buyer could take a view to purchasing the property without the certificates; your solicitor can obtain indemnity insurance to cover the buyer for any loss they encounter, or an engineer can reconcile the work completed and provide post-work sign off to satisfy the buyers.
