This area covers people buying their first home in England. It includes the steps from offer through to completion, mortgage fine-tuning, searches, and registration of ownership at HM Land Registry, plus identifying and applying any available reliefs such as first-time buyer stamp duty land tax relief. A solicitor handles drafting or reviewing contracts, coordinating with lenders, arranging surveys, liaising with the seller’s side, and ensuring the transfer of title and funds completes correctly and securely.

Where a solicitor protects your position

A first-time purchase involves time-sensitive steps: confirming funding, negotiating missives, and finalising transfer documents, with deadlines controlled by contract law, stamp duty relief eligibility, and the registration of title. A solicitor concentrates on protecting your position through accurate contract checks, ensuring proper payment of taxes, and overseeing the lodgement and registration process so ownership is legally vested in you.

Akaliya Balakrishna

Tagged solicitor Akaliya Balakrishna

Everyone at Streathers were knowledgeable and helpful with the whole massive process of buying a property (for the first time) and in particular our solicitor Akaliya Balakrishna who was always communicative and efficient as well as, we felt, having our best interests at the forefront of it all. Even when reaching the painful moments of the process she explained everything happening clearly, helped put our nerves at ease and always answered our questions. Compared to others we know, it all ended up on the shorter end of time scale as well.
