Conveyancing FAQs
How does the conveyancing process work in Chorleywood?
The three main phases of a standard conveyancing process are:
- Offer and acceptance
- Exchange of contracts
- Completion
Phase one, offer and acceptance, begins when a property buyer makes an offer that the seller agrees to. At this point, a verbal agreement is entered but neither party is legally obliged to see the transaction through to completion just yet.
The next step in the process is for both parties to instruct solicitors to act on their behalf. From here, the buyer and their solicitor will make a start on various checks on the property, to look for any issues and to minimise risk. These checks 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)
Once the checks have been carried out and once both parties are happy with their findings, the transaction can move into phase two, the exchange of contracts. This is where both parties sign on the dotted line and the agreement becomes legally binding.
The final phase of the process is completion, where the keys are handed over, a transfer deed is submitted to the authorities, and the seller leaves the property for the final time.
How long does conveyancing take in Chorleywood?
While every property transaction is different, we anticipate the most standard conveyancing processes to take between 12 and 14 weeks to complete, from the point at which solicitors are instructed. Naturally, there are some transactions that meet obstacles along the way, however, if delays are expected with your particular transaction, you will be the first to know.
What searches are involved in conveyancing in Chorleywood?
When the time comes for you to buy a property in Chorleywood, you will be required to instruct a conveyancer to carry out certain checks for you. These checks are for your benefit, to spot any issues associated with the property and the local area.
Typical checks that are carried out 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
In some cases, additional checks are required. If that happens to be the case with your transaction, we will let you know before carrying out the checks.
