Selling property in Yorkshire
Your expert conveyancing solicitor's role when selling a property in Yorkshire, 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 Yorkshire conveyancing solicitors' cost for selling a property starts from £723 INC VAT.
Why buy a home in Yorkshire?
Yorkshire is a ceremonial county, the largest in the UK. Its administration, however, is split into the following: the administrative county of North Yorkshire; the unitary authorities of Redcar and Cleveland, Middlesbrough, Kingston upon Hull, and York; the unitary authority part of Stockton-on-Tees south of the River Tees; and all or most of every metropolitan borough in the metropolitan counties of West Yorkshire and South Yorkshire, as well as some other anomalies.
It has an extremely distinguished history and traditionally, schoolchildren have been taught about the Wars of the Roses, centering on the Lancashire and Yorkshire.
Its geographical diversity stretches to the high Pennine moorlands in the west, dissected by the Yorkshire Dales; the central lowlands, including the Vale of York, draining into the River Humber estuary in the southeast; the North York Moors and Yorkshire Wolds in the east; and, in the far southeast, the Holderness plain along the North Sea.
Landmarks and attractions are numerous and include, for example, the historic walled city of York, Durham Cathedral, the Botanical Gardens in Sheffield (not to mention the Crucible Theatre, the mecca of snooker), Harewood House in Leeds and the Royal Pump Museum in Harrogate.

Yorkshire is very well-connected for travel as a county and contains numerous motorways, including the M1, the A1(M), the M62 and the M18. The A1 itself is the longest trunk road in the UK. It is similarly well served for rail travel, with not only main routes serving major conurbations such as Sheffield and Leeds in a North-South orientation connecting to London, but also trains traversing the Pennines in an East-West direction.
There are numerous branch lines serving smaller centres of population and countless coach and bus routes.

Local conveyancing solicitor
Are online licensed conveyancing solicitors better than property lawyers near me?
Before the internet, finding licensed conveyancing solicitors in Yorkshire 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.

When should you book your home removals?
Often, the last thing people moving home remember to organise is their home removals. If you want to complete and move in on a Friday, you should bear in mind that this is the most popular day generally, so if you leave it until very late to book, you may struggle to find a company to help you.
The optimum time to book your home removals is on the day of exchange; before this, things aren't 'set in stone', but you are well advised, if you want to complete a week to a fortnight afterwards, to book as soon as possible after exchange.
