• DIY Conveyancing Advice

    By meetopes on 01st Feb 2017

    Dear sir or madam,

    Please advise me as I have been representing myself in my house sale and purchase and carrying out all the pre-contract conveyancing successfully, dealing with the contract documents, enquiries, searches, etc.

    However as we are now ready to exchange contracts, my buyers' solicitors have told me that I must instruct a conveyancing solicitor to handle the money transactions and various payments, and most importantly the undertaking to discharge my mortgage. That is because the buyers' lender has requested that.

    I know that according to the Law Society I am within my legal rights to represent myself and do all the conveyancing work for my sale and purchase.

    Can you please advise me what can I do now if I do not want to pay huge solicitors fees just to handle money transaction, which I could easily do myself. Also I have reassured them that I will be undertaking to fully discharge the mortgage using the Law Society form TA13.

    I look forward to your kind reply, with many thanks.

    Regards

    Mr F Kozmi

    The problem is that if you go back on your promise to discharge your mortgage, etc., the purchaser can do little to recover his money. you need a solicitor
