Welcome to The Final Step! – the last, crucial steps that make your homeownership official. Our solicitors handle all the legal formalities, from paying your Stamp Duty to registering your title, so you can relax knowing everything’s taken care of. Here’s what happens next…
The Final Step!
To finalise your purchase and secure your ownership, our solicitors will have to professionally close the deal. For example,
- Stamp Duty Land Tax (SDLT)
We will calculate and pay your SDLT to HMRC within 2 weeks of completions.
- Land Registry
We will then officially register your ownership with HM Land Registry to ensure the property is officially registered under your name.
- Mortgage Lender Notification
If you took out a mortgage, the solicitor notifies your lender and ensures the legal charge is registered correctly with the Land Registry.
- Completion Statement & Document Storage
You will receive a final completion statement, SDLT certificate, and confirmation of title registration. Your solicitor stores the legal records, and you may receive copies for your records or future needs.
