Conveyancing solicitors in Sutton

Juno's conveyancing process for buying a property in Sutton mainly involves ten steps:

1. Sign-Up: Register with us to get the most efficient and straightforward conveyancing services.
2. Mortgage and Funding: Make plans for your mortgage and ensure you have sufficient funding.
3. Search Reports: We order and review searches related to your potential property.
4. Contract Pack: The seller's lawyer sends us a draft contract, the Land Registry records for the property, and a pack of information provided by the seller.
5. Survey: We recommend getting a thorough property survey. If you're buying with a mortgage, this is as well as your lender's valuation.
6. Enquiries: We communicate with the seller's lawyer to clarify and/or fix any legal issues with the property.
7. Report: We generate a detailed report about the property and the contract.
8. Exchange: Upon your approval, we exchange contracts with the seller.
9. Completion: We finalise the property deal.
10. Registration: We process the papers with the Land Registry to register the property in your name.

For selling a property with Juno, the process involves seven steps:

1. Sign Up: Register with us and get started on your property sale.
2. Contract Pack: We draft a contract, obtain land registry records and send it to the buyer's lawyer.
3. Property Information Forms: You'll provide detailed information and documents for the property you're selling, online via Juno. We'll review everything you provide and send it to the buyer's lawyer.
4. Mortgage Statements: You will need to provide us with the most recent mortgage statement(s) for your property.
5. Enquiries: We handle any legal question and issues concerning the property that may come up from the buyer's side.
6. Exchange: We exchange contracts once the buyer is keen to pursue with the purchase.
7. Completion: We finalise the agreement, giving you a stress-free and efficient property sale process.

It depends on your chain, your property and how quickly everyone responds. But Juno is around 8 weeks faster than the national average.

If we act for the buyer and the seller at the same time and there's no chain, it's typically about two weeks faster.

The main searches in conveyancing include local authority checks, environmental assessments, and water and drainage searches. All of these assess any potential issues that could affect your property.

Sutton's property market includes a mix of period properties and modern homes. Buyers should consider school catchment areas, transport links to central London, and potential impact of the London Cancer Hub development. Properties in conservation areas like Sutton Garden Suburb may have specific planning restrictions.
