Property Frequently Asked Questions

A residential conveyancer or solicitor will handle the legal process of buying or selling your home, from conducting property searches (such as flood, water and drainage and local authority searches) to negotiating exchange and completion dates and transferring ownership of the property.

There is no set amount of time that the conveyancing process takes, although the average time is around 8-12 weeks from the moment you make or accept an offer to completion day (when keys for the property are exchanged). However, the amount of time will vary depending on whether you’re part of a property chain, and how complex each purchase or sale is.

The conveyancing process for buying and selling a home varies slightly for each transaction. However, the basic outline of the process is as follows:
1. Instruct a conveyancer/solicitor and confirm instructions (also ensure your funding is in place at this stage)
2. Contract papers for the sale or purchase will be drafted by your conveyancer/solicitor
3. Property searches will be carried out
4. Findings from the searches will be reported back
5. The contract(s) will be signed
6. Contracts will be exchanged
7. Completion

Although you technically can conduct the conveyancing process yourself, there are many legal and complex steps involved. Therefore we always recommend instructing a residential conveyancing solicitor to ensure the process is carried out correctly, efficiently and legally.

You can only instruct a conveyancer once you have agreed the sale or purchase of your home, but you can do your research in advance of this so you’re prepared and don’t hold up the process when the time comes. Choosing a good solicitor/conveyancer is an essential decision when buying or selling your home; therefore it’s important to do your research – ask for recommendations from friends and family or talk to your lender, mortgage broker or estate agent. Some may have an established relationship with a particular solicitor/conveyancer but remember you are under no obligation to go with this firm.
