Conveyancing FAQs
How does the conveyancing process work in Boston?
In the vast majority of cases, there are three mains stages to buying or selling a home. These are:
- Offer and acceptance
- Exchange of contracts
- Completion
When an offer is accepted on a home, the buyer and seller enter into a contract. At this stage, the transaction is not legally binding and either party can choose to pull out without receiving a penalty.
After an offer is accepted, it’s up to the buyer to seek out as much information as they can about the property in question, with the assistance of their conveyancing solicitor. Information could include:
- 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 buyer will also need to apply for a mortgage at this stage.
Once the buyer is happy with the checks that have been carried out, they can move to exchange contracts with the seller. Once exchange, the transaction is legally binding and neither party will be able to change their mind – unless they are able to provide a valid reason for doing so.
Completion is when the transaction is deemed to be official. A transfer of deed is submitted to HM Land Registry and the seller is required to leave the property on the completion date.
How long does conveyancing take in Boston?
Naturally, the time it takes to complete conveyancing work depends on a number of factors, including how complex the case is. For straightforward transactions, conveyancing work tends to take between 12 and 14 weeks to complete from the date the offer is accepted and conveyancing solicitors are instructed.
That being said, every transaction is different and there could be unique challenges that will delay the overall progress. If this is likely to be the case, your solicitor will keep you in the loop.
What searches are involved in conveyancing in Boston?
When you are buying a home, your conveyancer will carry out a number of checks, known as conveyancing searches. These searches are completed to assess the condition of the property and whether any issues need to be addressed.
The three main types of checks are:
- 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
If any additional checks are required, your conveyancer will inform you that this is the case.
