What is conveyancing?
Conveyancing is the legal process of transferring ownership of a property from one person to another. This involves a number of legal procedures, such as searches and surveys, and is typically carried out by a solicitor.
How long does conveyancing take?
The length of time it takes to complete conveyancing can vary depending on a number of factors, such as the complexity of the transaction and whether any issues arise during the process. However, on average, conveyancing can take between 8-12 weeks.
Why should I use a solicitor for conveyancing?
Using a property solicitor for conveyancing ensures that all legal procedures are carried out correctly and that your interests are protected throughout the process.

How can we help you today?
Take a look at some common queries below:
What are searches and surveys and do I need them?
Searches provide information in relation to the property such as its planning history, the status of the road and whether the property is connected to the mains water supply. Surveys check on the condition of the property. Searches and having a survey can be important and if you are obtaining a mortgage this will normally be a lender requirement in any event.
What is the process for buying a home?
After you have made an offer on your property it is time to instruct a conveyancer. Always look carefully at the firm you appoint.
Next arrange your mortgage and your survey.
Then put the conveyancer in fund for searches.
A decent solicitor will then take you through the process reporting to you on the property and searches and once you and the solicitor are happy to proceed, you will look to exchange (this is when your are contracted to buy the property) and the completion date will be fixed. Ahead of the exchange you should check the completion date is suitable having in mind such matters as removals, availability of funds and work commitments.
