Our conveyancing fees – how much does our conveyancing cost in Cholsey?
Our conveyancing fees are entirely dependent on the manner of transaction and whether there are any complexities with it. For those simpler cases, we tend to offer fixed costs, which provide assurance over prices from the outset. Occasionally, additional fees are required, and if this applies to your transaction, your conveyancing solicitor will inform you.
Any additional conveyancing fees are known as disbursements, and these usually apply for conveyancing searches and property registration with HM Land Registry.
For some clients, tax is required with their transaction, such as Stamp Duty Land Tax or Capital Gains Tax. We will assist with calculating the tax owed and file the return with HMRC.
Conveyancing FAQs
How does the conveyancing process work in Cholsey?
Conveyancing has three main stages, including:
- Offer and acceptance
- Contract exchange
- Completion
When a potential buyer submits an offer, and it’s accepted, the seller and buyer have entered a verbal agreement. At this stage, it is not a legally binding contract until the contracts are exchanged and signed. Either party has the right to opt out if they wish and will not face any repercussions.
The conveyancing solicitor and buyer will conduct property checks, 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)
Once all the checks are done and the buyer and seller are satisfied to move forward, the contracts will be exchanged and signed, making the transaction legally binding.
Once the transaction is official, this is known as completion. The transfer deed will be submitted to HM Land Registry, and the buyer can move into the property.
How long does conveyancing take in Cholsey?
Under normal circumstances, property transactions take 12 to 14 weeks for completion. However, not all transactions go to plan due to many different factors, which means time frames can completely vary. Where there might be possible delays, your solicitor will make you aware of this and advise you of possible options.
What searches are involved in conveyancing in Cholsey?
When purchasing a new property, your conveyancer will carry out several searches to ensure there are no urgent problems that need addressing.
The three main types of searches include:
- 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
Occasionally additional checks are essential. If this is the case, your conveyancing solicitor will let you know.
How do you instruct our conveyancing solicitors in Cholsey?
When we agree to move forward with your case, we will guide you step by step through the process so you are completely aware. Your individual solicitor will take all the required legal details concerning your transaction.
