Our conveyancing fees – how much does our conveyancing cost in Bletchley?
We have a range of fixed fees for property transactions that are simple and straightforward. When a client comes to us with what appears to be a more complex transaction to process, we provide tailored, competitive quotes to each of those clients. Get in touch with a member of our team to discuss your requirements and to find out how much we will quote for managing your transaction.
Standard transactions typically incur additional costs known as disbursements. These costs are often associated with searches that need to be carried out, as well as registering a property with HM Land Registry.
Some clients will also be required to pay tax upon completion of their property transaction, whether that’s Stamp Duty Land Tax or Capital Gains Tax. We will be able to inform you of whether or not you will be required to pay tax and how much, before filing a return with HMRC on your behalf.
Conveyancing FAQs
How does the conveyancing process work in Bletchley?
The three main steps to most property transactions are:
- Offer and acceptance
- Exchange of contracts
- Completion
Offer and acceptance consists of a buyer negotiating with a seller in order to agree on a price that they are willing to purchase the property for. At this point in the process, there are no legal ties between the two parties.
Solicitors should be instructed once an offer is accepted by the seller. The buyer’s conveyancer will assist them with carrying out essential searches on the property, including:
- Reviewing property information provided by the seller and making further enquiries if necessary (done by the conveyancing solicitor)
- Conducting conveyancing property searches, such as local authority checks (done by the conveyancing solicitor)
- Carrying out an independent survey (done by the buyer)
The property buyer should also apply for a mortgage at this stage in the process, where necessary.
If the property checks come back satisfactory and both the buyer and the seller are happy to move forward with the transaction, the solicitors will organise the signing and exchanging of contracts. This legally binds both parties to the transaction, and if either decides to pull out from this point, they will incur a financial penalty.
The final stage of the transaction is when a transfer deed is submitted to HM Land Registry, when the keys are handed over and when the previous owner moves out of the property. At this stage, the conveyancing process is complete.
How long does conveyancing take in Bletchley?
No two transactions are the same, and each comes with its own unique set of steps, hurdles and requests. Because of this, it’s very difficult to determine exactly how long each transaction will take. However, on average, straightforward cases usually take between 12 and 14 weeks to complete.
Here at Bird & Co, we are passionate about transparency, and we will always keep you up to date with the progress of your transaction. If we expect delays to your transaction, we will let you know in advance.
What searches are involved in conveyancing in Bletchley?
When buying a property in Bletchley, your residential property solicitor will be legally required to carry out various checks on the property and the local area, to identify any issues that could impact your future investment.
These searches consist of:
- Local authority checks – to check the surrounding area for planning, pollution, highway, pollution or other related issues
- Environmental searches – to check for issues such as flooding or land contamination
- Water and drainage searches – to check matters such as water and drainage access
There are some cases where additional checks and searches need to be carried out. If this happens to be the case with your property purchase, your solicitor will let you know in advance.
