As we enter 2026 plenty of people start the new year with thoughts of moving home or getting on the property ladder.
Those thoughts then turn to estate agents, Rightmove, Zoopla and what we can afford and what we can then buy.
Speaking with a solicitor at an early stage is often overlooked but is invaluable and can speed up the process later on.
By choosing the right solicitor they will arrange for you to complete all the necessary forms, documents and ID checks meaning that once you have a buyer, they can issue a contract pack to the buyers solicitor immediately which can often take 2 or 3 weeks off the overall time taken between offer accepted and actually moving. Furthermore they will also be able to check your property and its legal title and identify any possible issues that may arise once a sale has been agreed which in turn saves further time and in a lot of cases a whole lot of stress and worry.
For buyers, the right solicitor can carry out all their initial checks as well as verifying the source of your funds which can take some time
