Stage 3 of Buying a House | Buyer's Enquiries Received

At this stage, the buyer’s solicitors submit enquiries to us based on the information we provided them with in the Draft Contract Pack, as well as the results of the searches that they took out on the property. We will work with you to respond to these enquiries.Once the buyer’s solicitor has reviewed the Draft Contract Pack, they may have questions regarding the information in the documentation. These enquiries are questions that the buyer’s solicitor will raise to us about the Draft Contract Pack that we provided them with. The buyer’s solicitors want to make sure that the buyer is aware of any restrictions or anything that could become a problem later down the line in their ownership of the property. This is also an opportunity for buyers to raise any questions to you via their solicitor such as whether the property has been burgled, if there are any disputes with the neighbours, or any information about the property that you’ve picked up from your time as a resident.

OUR TO DO LIST

  • We will be in contact to discuss the buyer’s enquiries and work with you to provide a comprehensive response
  • We will then forward these responses to the buyer’s solicitor
  • All replies to the buyer’s enquiries will be sent

YOUR TO DO LIST

  • Once we have sent you our proposed responses to the enquiries, will work with you to confirm that our responses are accurate and to provide any additional documentation needed to support the response. Additional documentation may be required for enquiries such as fittings warranties (boilers etc.).

WHAT IS AN ENQUIRY?

An enquiry is a question that the buyer’s solicitor will raise to us about the draft contract pack we sent.

HOW LONG WILL ENQUIRIES TAKE?

Enquiries are typically raised 14-30 days after the buyer’s solicitor receive  the Draft Contract Pack at which point, we work with you to respond to all the enquiries.

WHAT YOU CAN DO TO SPEED UP THE PROCESS

An absolute gem of a firm!

Excellent service. Quietly attentive, sympathetic listeners, and efficient practitioners, all that a worried applicant could wish for. And especially unusual in this day and age....

Lyons Bowe are genuinely amazing!

Honestly I've never wanted to review solicitors before, they've been ok and have done their job at varying timescales. From the start, my partner and I have commented every single time when something happened how quick they are, and they're a delight to communicate with too! And their app is brilliant and has made things so much easier. We will use in the future and will not stop recommending.

Professional, approachable, and incredibly efficient

I recently used Lyons Bowe Solicitors and had the pleasure of working with Holly as my point of contact. From start to finish, the service was outstanding. Holly was professional, approachable, and incredibly efficient - she kept me updated throughout the entire process and made everything feel smooth and stress-free.

Excellent communication, chasing me rather than me chasing them

Rhea, and everyone so far at Lyons Bowe, have been truly fantastic. Excellent communication, chasing me rather than me chasing them, very pleasant in conversation and always ready to help. Highly recommend to anyone.
