Buying or selling a home can be one of life’s most stressful experiences.
EMG Solicitors, a B Corp certified law firm with offices in Penrith, is doing all it can to adapt to changes in the market while keeping clients at the heart of everything it does and ensuring the process runs as smoothly as possible.
Over the years there have been continued efforts to improve the process of buying and selling a home.
In June this year the Government proposed an industry shake-up to reduce delays, cut costs and help prevent sales from falling through, and to make greater use of digital tools.
“The sector as a whole is broadly supportive of any new legislation that can make buying and selling a home easier,” says Andrew Allon, Senior Associate and Departmental Lead of residential conveyancing at EMG Solicitors.
“I think a digital approach is just what we need in a modern world, but for it to work it must be adopted across the board by banks, lenders, the Land Registry and other organisations involved.
“Thankfully, at EMG we already work closely and effectively with those other parties, which makes the process far more straightforward and helps avoid any delays.
“We operate a pod system at EMG, giving our clients access to a small, dedicated team that looks after their property transaction from start to finish which means there’s always someone on hand to provide updates and answer any questions.
“We also have separate onboarding and post-completion teams, ensuring clients are supported at every stage of the process.
“It’s also about getting the basics right.
“A big focus for EMG is communication and transparency. We believe good communication is key to delivering client excellence, which is why we are happy to stay in touch in whichever way works best for our clients – by phone, email or face-to-face.
“We also have an online calculator so anyone can generate an instant quote for their property transaction, and we’ve created a series of easy-to-follow videos that guide buyers through the process. They include everything from what to do first, our role as solicitors and getting ready for exchange and completion.”
EMG Solicitors’ residential conveyancing team supports clients across the UK. Their clients can also benefit from the expertise of the firm’s wider teams, including its wills, trusts and probate specialists to ensure their estate plans or wishes for their properties in the future are met.
“At EMG we go above and beyond doing just the legal work,” says Andrew.
“Our firm’s values mean everything to us. It’s about being kind, compassionate and understanding while always working hard to protect a client’s position during the process.
“We’re here to make things as stress free as possible from beginning to end. We want the journey of buying a home to be as exciting as getting the keys.”
