Conveyancing Solicitors in Blandford Forum

Conveyancing in Blandford Forum encompasses a variety of properties, from Georgian townhouses in the town centre to new-build homes and rural properties with land. Solicitors are responsible for checking the title, ordering local searches and raising enquiries before the exchange of contracts. When purchasing a rural property, they also examine factors such as private drainage, boundaries and rights of way. For leasehold flats, they review the lease term, service charge and any options for lease extension. Solicitors also handle remortgages and transfers of equity within families. After completion, they file the Stamp Duty Land Tax return and register the freehold or leasehold title with HM Land Registry.

The Georgian town centre, which was rebuilt after a fire in 1731, is designated as a conservation area and features many listed buildings. Solicitors will verify whether listed building consent was obtained for any past alterations.
