If you’re thinking about moving home, it could be time to talk to our specialist conveyancing solicitors in Benfleet.
Our property team can manage all aspects of your property sale or purchase, including:
Equity transfers
You may wish to transfer the equity that you currently have in your property to another family member. If you’re no longer cohabiting with an ex-spouse, or you want to gift the property into a Trust, our conveyancing solicitors in Benfleet will be able to talk you through the equity transfer process and ensure the legal register is updated to reflect the change in circumstances.
Equity release
There are many reasons why our clients in Benfleet decide to release some of the equity in their home. In many instances, they need to raise extra capital to cover home improvements and debt payments; in other cases, they simply want to inject some cash into their retirement fund. Either way, the property solicitors at Hook & Partners will help you navigate the legalities of your equity release scheme.
Lease extensions
If the lease on your property will soon be coming to an end, you’ll need to extend it in order to ensure your home retains its market value. Our conveyancing solicitors can help you with all aspects of the legal work that accompanies a lease extension, from arranging the initial RICS valuation to negotiating terms with the freeholder.
Mobile home conveyancing
Thanks to the rising costs of residential properties, the demand for mobile homes is growing year on year. Buying or selling a mobile home is typically more straightforward than transferring a brick and mortar property – but to avoid unnecessary hassle, we would always recommend instructing a specialist residential park conveyancer to manage the process on your behalf.
Remortgaging
If you’re coming to the end of your mortgage term and you’re keen to switch lenders, it’s important to speak to our conveyancing solicitors to ensure that the remortgaging process is handled with care. Our solicitors will handle everything from applying for redemption statements from your existing lender to amending the deeds if there are changes to the ownership of the property.
What to look for in a property solicitor
Finding a suitable property solicitor in Benfleet to manage the transfer of your property is by no means straightforward. You need to make sure that the conveyancer you choose will be able to confidently take to the reins of your purchase or sale and navigate any challenges to facilitate a smooth, fast transaction. After all, any mistakes could hold up or break the chain, which could result in severe (and often costly) delays for everyone involved.
Never underestimate the importance of working with a friendly, empathetic conveyancer, either! Moving home is one of life’s most stressful events, so knowing you have ongoing access to a friendly team who will listen to all your concerns and be able to ease your worries at such an important time for you and your family is vital.
