Conveyancing when selling property in Scotland – Solicitor
In Scotland, lawyers play a more prominent role in the sale of properties than in the rest of the United Kingdom. Several Scottish solicitors are also estate agents and are responsible for:
- Marketing: Ensuring to check the title when the property is up on the market. Management of initial transactions
- Documentation: For locating all home-related documentation your solicitor will negotiate the contract with the buyer’s attorney.
- Completing your contract: assisting with every aspect of finalising your contracts, including checking the title deeds, conducting land register searches, drafting the missives (contracts), and agreeing on the date the transaction is concluded, known as settlement.
Generally, affiliates of Solicitors and Property Centres are law firms that are also real estate agents. Property centres have display areas where members’ available properties are displayed. There are real estate agents in Scotland, but they have a smaller market share.
A prospective seller’s initial point contact will be a lawyer. The Scottish contracts system differs from the English system, and contracts are typically concluded rapidly.
