Member Talk: Retirement Properties – What Should Conveyancers Look For?

It’s always a big step for a client to move, but there are additional issues for the practitioner working on behalf of a client buying a retirement property. 

Our speakers discuss: 

• the different considerations depending on whether the client is buying a new build or resale.

• demands of the contract particularly on age requirements and ongoing fee obligations.  

• the differences between properties and services e.g. what assisted living facilities would provide. 

• client lifestyle issues such as mental capacity and family involvement. 

Speakers:

• Sarah Cookson, Director and Head of Conveyancing, Switalskis Solicitors 
• Nick Dell, Head of Legal, McCarthy Stone
