Buying and selling a home
Buying or selling a home is often said to be one of life’s most stressful experiences. With the right legal team by your side however, the process can be much easier and more manageable. At Pengillys, our property department is committed to handling your property transactions efficiently and keeping you informed every step of the way.
We pride ourselves on regular communication with our clients and other parties involved, such as estate agents, to ensure that everyone remains up-to-date and in control of the process.
Early engagement for a stress-free experience
The sooner you engage with our property experts on any sale or purchase, the better we can guide you through the steps and explain the typical timescales involved. Our goal is to help you feel less anxious and more confident about your transaction.
We’ll provide a clear estimate of the legal fees from the outset, so you know exactly what to expect. Unlike many other solicitors or conveyancing firms, we don’t charge extra for arranging indemnity insurance policies (though you will still need to pay the cost of the policy itself). Any additional services will also be clearly noted in your initial estimate, so there are no surprises.
For a more detailed breakdown of potential costs and expenses, please refer to our Pricing page here, where we outline everything you need to know.
When buying a property
Once you decide to purchase a property, we recommend commissioning a building survey right away. This is a detailed inspection of the property’s condition and can highlight any structural issues or defects. A survey can save you time, money, and stress by revealing potential problems early in the process.
If you’re buying with a mortgage, we will often also represent your lender. This is common practice in the UK and ensures that both you and your lender’s interests are protected. It’s worth noting that your lender may have certain requirements, which could cause slight delays, but we will manage this for you as best we are able to.
When selling a property
If you are considering selling your property, we advise contacting us as early as possible. While we don’t have ties to any estate agents, we can recommend the most suitable one for your situation.
Preparing pre-contract enquiries (questions the buyer’s solicitor will ask about the property) before a buyer is found can significantly speed up the process. By handling potential issues upfront, you avoid unnecessary delays later on.
Its personal
At Pengillys, we don’t offer mass-produced or “conveyor belt” conveyancing services. Instead, we provide a personalised service tailored to your needs, and we pride ourselves on putting our clients first.
You will have a dedicated member of the property team assigned to your matter whom will deal with the entire process to ensure consistency of delivery of advice and service levels.
