Sheffield Conveyancing Services FAQs

How many years have you been in service?

AVRillo has been offering conveyancing services in the UK for more than a decade. Our team of solicitors and estate agents has many years of combined experience.

What services do you offer?

When you reach out to AVRillo conveyancers, you are guaranteed the following services:

Buying and selling a home, leasehold property, and freehold of a house

Equity release

Transfer of a property

Remortgaging

Advice for first-time homebuyers

Commercial conveyancing

Stamp Duty advice

Lease extension

What is Stamp Duty?

Stamp duty is a type of tax that the government charges to anyone buying a property. Every individual is liable to pay stamp duty tax when buying property for the first time unless an exemption applies.

When you plan to buy property in Sheffield, you can ask your solicitor to help you calculate the stamp duty you are likely to pay. The solicitor should send you a quote estimate of stamp duty which is normally based on the purchase price.

The amount you pay as stamp duty will normally vary depending on the value of the property and your capacity as a buyer. Property that is over a million pounds is likely to pay a higher rate. You will be more liable to additional rate stamp duty tax if you own more than one property in the UK.

Once you instruct your conveyancing solicitor to complete the stamp duty form, you have to pay the stamp duty on completion. Also, you will have to pay your stamp duty as a buyer if you are completing your stamp duty form.

You will be issued an SDLT5 certificate of payment for the solicitor to complete and submit your AP1 Land Registry as a new owner within the priority period. Failing to do this, you can risk being attacked by a fraudulent buyer taking illegal ownership of the property.

How much do you pay when instructing your lawyer to complete the stamp duty tax form?

How much you will pay for this process will depend on what your lawyer is asking for. The amount payable will be indicated or contained in their terms. If not, you should ask the lawyer. A complete form has over 70 questions that you should answer.

Therefore, when you hire solicitors, you will be saving time to fill out this form. The form also attracts a penalty from the government if it is not filled correctly. It means you avoid the penalty when you have a solicitor filling out the form on your behalf.

What is the difference between freehold and leasehold?

Freehold is a term used to describe land ownership. It means the estate or property is “free from hold “ of any entity apart from the real owner. A leasehold is when you own a property temporarily. It applies to flats.

Can you have a deposit of less than 10%?

In some cases, the buyer may not provide a full deposit of 10% because they have qualified for a 95% mortgage, and they are receiving less money. For the seller, it means the buyer will be paying a lower deposit, sometimes close to 5%.

The law provides that if anything goes wrong and the buyer cannot complete the deposit, then the seller has a right to keep the buyer’s 10% deposit after a due process is followed.

Through a litigation lawyer, the seller can proceed to pursue a claim if the buyer fails to put down the % deposit. There is less chance of a failed completion, but sometimes it is important to know the risk involved.

How long does it take to exchange property in Sheffield?

How long it takes to exchange property in the UK and Sheffield, to be specific, will depend mostly on the lawyer you choose to work with. There are times when most solicitors are busy or have a chain of projects waiting.

In this case, it can take them between 3-4 months to complete an exchange. A normal completion can take up to 5 months from when you instruct your lawyer to start the process. You should talk to your lawyer before you can instruct them.

What is a mortgage offer?

A mortgage offer is an amount you are being offered and the terms of the offer you get from the seller.

What are some of the searches involved in conveyancing in London?

Your conveyancer or solicitors will carry out a background check or search on the property you are buying to ensure there are no underlying issues that you should know. These are some of the searches your conveyancer should make:

Water and drainage searches are done to check issues like access to drainage and water.

Environmental searches – This is a search to identify issues such as flooding and land contamination.

Local authority checks – This is a search to find out the surrounding area for pollution, planning, highway, and other related issues.

Your solicitors can also conduct more checks than these, depending on where the property is located and the type of property you are moving to.

What is the process of conveyancing in Sheffield?

The conveyancing process in Sheffield involves only three stages that you should beware of:

Offer and acceptance

Buyer and seller exchanging the contracts

Completion of the offer

The buyer and seller of a property will normally agree to enter into a contract once they have agreed on a price for a property. There is nothing legal that binds the buyer and seller at this stage of the transaction. It means either party can just pull out of the transaction without attracting any penalties.

The buyer of the property agrees to work with their solicitor to perform checks on the property. Some of these checks include:

Review of documents – the solicitor reviews the property information provided by the seller and makes any further inquiries if there are any.

Property searches – the conveyancer conducts property searches such as local authority checks.

The real buyer of the property conducts an independent survey of the property.

Once all the checks are completed and both the buyer and seller are satisfied, the contract documents are signed and exchanged. At this stage, the transaction is now considered legal and binding.

No party should pull out of the transaction because it can result in a financial penalty. If the transaction reaches the completion stage, it is considered official, and a transfer deed is issued to the HM Land Registry. The seller is now required by law to leave or surrender their property to the new owner.

What is the cost of conveyancing in Sheffield?

At AVRillo, we provide you affordable and flexible fees when you seek out our conveyancing services in Sheffield. If there are any additional fees required to complete a transaction, your solicitor will inform you on time and explain why this is happening.

Additional fees that you are likely to incur during the conveyancing process are known as disbursements. Some of these costs include the cost of registering at the HM Land Registry and conveyancing searches.

Also, you should look more into how the prevailing tax rates will affect your property transaction like Capital Gains and Stamp Duty. You can talk to your solicitor to help you calculate the tax due when buying property and how much you are likely to owe when filing the return with HMRC.
