Conveyancing FAQs
How does the conveyancing process in Cheshunt work?
Once you have found a property to buy, we will carry out the necessary searches on your behalf and raise any necessary enquiries with the seller.
The next stage is exchange of contracts, when the legal date for completion is set. On the completion day we will arrange for the purchase money to be sent to the seller’s solicitors and the keys will be released to you.
How long does conveyancing take in Cheshunt?
The length of time to buy or sell a property can vary widely. We generally expect a straightforward sale or purchase to take around 12-14 weeks from the date that an offer is accepted and we are instructed. When there is a chain of other transactions involved, the process could move more slowly if one party experiences a delay.
What searches are involved in conveyancing in Cheshunt?
Conveyancing searches are carried out by your conveyancer whenever you buy a property. These are done to ensure that there are no issues with the property that have not been previously reported.
The three main types of property searches are:
- Local authority checks – to check the surrounding area for planning, pollution, highway, or other related issues
- Environmental searches – to check for issues such as flooding or land contamination
- Water and drainage searches – to check for matters such as water and drainage access
Further checks may be required, depending on the type of property and where it is located. Your conveyancer will let you know if this is necessary.
