What is the conveyancing solicitor’s role?

Tees conveyancing solicitors play an important role in the process and they get involved once your lender has written to you to say ‘yes’ – they would like to lend you the money – which is called a ‘formal offer’.

We Will:

• check your identity, (to comply with Money Laundering Regulations). 
• meet with you face to face as required by standards set out by the Equity release council before you take out an equity release plan.
• ensure that all your property paperwork is in place. (such as checking your title deeds, or that you have adequate buildings insurance in place).
• If you are paying off your existing mortgage with your equity release funds, we will also take care of that for you.
• Finally, we will agree your completion date with your lender and arrange for the transfer of the money to your bank account.
