As a solicitor specialising in resales shared ownership, pretty much since I qualified some 16 years ago, I have long felt that resales transactions are treated as the uglier, less sexy (as far as conveyancing goes) branch of shared ownership and frankly I’m fed up with it!
Why use a specialist solicitor when buying an affordable housing product?
Affordable housing is still only a small fraction of the overall housing sector, and the majority of solicitors still see affordable housing conveyancing as more complex than “ordinary” conveyancing, therefore it is advisable to use an experienced, specialist conveyancer.
Buying a new home is exciting but can also be quite daunting due to the amount of legal paperwork to sort out. When you instruct a solicitor, one of their first jobs, which is required by law, is to verify your identity, and in the case of a purchase, details of your source of funds.
