    This area covers buying property off plan and arranging or securing equity release, including mortgages backed by lifetime mortgages. A solicitor works on contracts for off‑plan purchases, checks developer terms, confirms title due diligence, investigates planning or building approvals, reviews deposits and long-stop dates, and coordinates with lenders, lenders' solicitors and the land registry. They also advise on risks of buying before completion and on safeguards in equity release schemes before advising on next steps if problems arise.
