Buying or selling a house can be an arduous undertaking. It is something that many of us will only do a handful of times in our life, which can make the process seem incredibly daunting.
When you are selling a property or buying a new home, there are a lot of decisions you need to make and a lot of information you need to gather. Legal obligations must be met, and searches and buyer enquiries dealt with in good time so that a house sale or purchase can proceed smoothly.
Our residential property team at Berlad Graham LLP have helped many clients with successful property sales. We know how important it is to get your house sold quickly and efficiently so you can focus on the most important step of moving into your new home.
If you are looking for advice on residential property and want to discuss your next steps, please call Berlad Graham LLP today on 0330 475 5655.

Solicitors for Buying a Property
Every house purchase is different, but generally, the average time taken once an offer on a property is accepted is around 12 weeks. However, this can depend on several factors.
These include:
- ^Whether you are buying a home by yourself or with someone else
- ^Whether you are buying a new-build home
- ^Whether you are buying a leasehold home
- ^If you need to arrange a mortgage
- ^If you are in a chain
- ^Whether any issues come up on the property in the survey
At Berlad Graham LLP, we are experienced at handling a wide variety of different house sales and purchases across the UK, and our residential property lawyers enjoy strong relationships with local estate agents. This ensures that we have in-depth local knowledge of the property market and are aware of any particular issues you might encounter.
We can conduct all the searches associated with a property purchase, including those with; HM Land Registry, Local authority, Environmental, Water and drainage.
Although you may be impatient to get things sorted out and move into your new home as soon as possible, getting the conveyancing process right is crucial to avoid any problems further down the line. Cutting corners on searches and title checks can prove costly later on.
