Conveyancing Quote

Conveyancing is the legal process of transferring ownership of a property from one person to another. It involves various steps, including property searches, contract preparation, and liaising with mortgage lenders. 

You need a conveyancer to ensure that the transaction is legally sound, all necessary checks are conducted, and your rights are protected throughout the process. 

Whether you're buying, selling, or remortgaging, conveyancing is essential to complete the transaction smoothly and avoid potential legal issues.

The duration of the conveyancing process can vary depending on several factors, such as the complexity of the transaction, whether there’s a chain and the parties' efficiency. 

On average, a straightforward conveyancing transaction can take anywhere from 8 to 12 weeks. However, if issues arise, such as delays in obtaining searches or complications in the property chain, the process could take longer. 

We always strive to keep you informed of the progress and work to complete the process as efficiently as possible.

The costs involved in conveyancing typically include legal fees, disbursements (such as property searches and Land Registry fees), and, if applicable, Stamp Duty Land Tax (SDLT). 

Legal fees cover the conveyancer's time and expertise, while disbursements are third-party costs incurred during the process. 

We provide a detailed breakdown of all costs upfront so that you know exactly what to expect. Additional costs may arise if unexpected issues occur, but we will always communicate these with you before proceeding.

Yes, as a first-time buyer, having a conveyancer is crucial. The process of buying your first property can be overwhelming, with many legal and administrative tasks to manage. 

A conveyancer will guide you through each step, ensuring that all legal requirements are met and that your interests are protected. They will handle everything from reviewing contracts to conducting necessary property searches and liaising with your mortgage lender, making the process as stress-free as possible for you.

On the day of completion, your conveyancer will ensure that all final checks are completed, including confirming that the mortgage funds have been transferred from your lender. 

Once everything is in place, the keys to the property will be handed over, and ownership will officially be transferred to you. Your conveyancer will then ensure that the transaction is registered with the Land Registry. After completion, we will send you a final statement, and the process will be complete.

While it's technically possible to do your own conveyancing, it’s not recommended unless you have thorough knowledge and experience in property law. 

Conveyancing involves complex legal processes, and any mistakes could lead to serious issues, such as financial losses or difficulties in selling the property in the future. 

By using a professional conveyancer, you gain peace of mind knowing that the transaction is handled correctly, and your interests are fully protected. In most cases, it’s worth the investment to ensure everything is done right.
