Buying or selling a property can be very daunting and extremely stressful. Let’s face it, it’s probably the largest and most significant financial transaction most of us are ever likely to make. So it’s comforting and reassuring to know that someone capable and efficient is on your side and acting in your very best interests.

For many years we have been acting on behalf of clients in the South Devon area, and as a result we have an extensive knowledge of the residential property market and have built up excellent relationships with local estate agents and related agencies.

There are many potential pitfalls awaiting us when we buy or sell a property and it is our job to guide you safely through the process. We strive to keep you fully informed at all stages of the process to shoulder the burden of conveyancing and alleviate the stress.

It is now compulsory when selling most homes for the seller to provide an EPC to show to potential buyers containing advice on how to cut carbon emmissions and fuel bills.

The person responsible for marketing a property must have commissioned an EPC by the time that the property is on the market. As soon as you have received the Energy Performance Certificate you must provide potential buyers with a copy.

The 'permitted period' is either 14 days following the request for copies, or, if later, the day on which a payment for copies is received.

Almy & Thomas are able to commission an Energy Performance Certificate on your behalf.

To put your mind at rest further, when the process begins, we will provide you with a comprehensive and informative ‘Guide to buying and selling your home’. This document explains the whole basis of conveyancing and what you can expect from us during the legal process right through to completion.

The guide will take you step-by-step through buying or selling your home, as well as outlining your legal responsibilities. Whether you are a vendor or buyer, there are many things that need to be attended to before the whole process is complete.

In short, you can be assured of receiving a friendly and efficient service from our conveyancing department, which operates from our offices in Abbey Road, Torquay.

They specialise in residential transactions, re-mortgages and equity release, so contact them now if you need any advice or guidance on a conveyancing-related matter.
