Buying or selling a house is a significant transaction with potential legal complexities.
Engaging a lawyer early in the process can save you headaches and ensure a smooth transition. Here at Hayman Lawyers, we believe in providing our clients with the legal support they need, right when they need it.
When Buying a House:
You should consult with a lawyer before signing any agreement. It’s vital to understand the terms of the deal, and a lawyer can help you make sense of the fine print. A legal expert can also check for any encumbrances, easements, or other property issues that might impact your use of the property. Your lawyer will ensure you understand the obligations and implications of the mortgage and help manage the funds on settlement day.
When Selling a House:
Engage a lawyer as soon as you decide to sell. They will help you prepare the Sale and Purchase Agreement, ensuring all the necessary disclosures are made, thereby preventing potential disputes down the line. Additionally, they can handle any legal issues that may arise during the sales process, liaise with the buyer’s lawyer, and manage the distribution of funds from the sale.
