Entering the world of real estate transactions involves becoming familiar with terms and processes that, although common, are often misunderstood. One of these terms is “closing” or “conveyancing”, a crucial concept that plays a determining role in the success of buying or selling property. At Somnium Legal, with offices in Orihuela and Orihuela Costa, we are dedicated to demystifying these processes for our clients, ensuring that each step is transparent and understandable.
What is Conveyancing?
Conveyancing, or the closing process, is the set of legal actions required to transfer ownership of real estate from a seller to a buyer. This process begins once an offer has been accepted and ends when the keys are in the hands of the new owner. However, behind this definition lies a complexity that can be overwhelming without proper guidance.
The Role of Conveyancing in Real Estate Transactions
Conveyancing is essential because it ensures that the transfer of property is legally valid, secure and in accordance with relevant local laws. It involves a series of critical steps including:
- Contract Review: A contract is prepared and reviewed that details all the terms of the sale, including terms and conditions.
- Legal Searches and Inquiries: Various searches are carried out to ensure that there are no liens, encumbrances or restrictions on the property that could affect the purchase.
- Financing: Should the buyer require financing, this step ensures that funds are available for the purchase.
- Exchange of Contracts: Contracts are signed and the buyer pays a deposit, formalizing the commitment of both parties.
- Closing and Transfer of Funds: The balance of the purchase price is transferred to the seller and all necessary legal documents are completed to make the change of ownership official.
Why is Conveyancing Important?
The closing process ensures that all legal aspects of the property transfer are handled appropriately, minimizing risks for all parties involved. Without proper conveyancing, buyers and sellers could face unwanted legal, financial and tax consequences.
