Why instruct our online conveyancers instead of a conveyancer in Didcot?
Here are just a few reasons why our clients choose to instruct our online conveyancers rather than our traditional conveyancers:
- Our Didcot conveyancers have in-depth knowledge of the national property market, as well as the Didcot property market. We can utilise the broad knowledge and experience to strengthen the service we offer, which isn’t something local-only firms can offer.
- Our online systems have been developed with sensitive communication in mind. Client privacy and security lies at the forefront of our efforts and that’s why we take the time to keep our online security processes up to date.
- We can get your conveyancing done quickly and efficiently. Because we’re able to cut out some of the steps required for traditional conveyancing, we’re able to get your online conveyancing transaction processed more quickly.
- Online conveyancing tends to be more cost-effective. By cutting out unnecessary steps, we’re able to reduce the cost of our online conveyancing services.
- We regularly work on property transactions across the country, even for clients who are on the other side of the world. Video conference platforms help us to keep in touch with clients who cannot meet us in the office.
- We are fully insured to carry out our conveyancing services both in the office and online.
Our conveyancing fees – how much does our conveyancing cost in Didcot?
We keep our service fees flexible to cater to the needs of our clients and their property transactions. That’s because, while one transaction may be fairly straightforward and quick to process, another may have a few hurdles to overcome before completion can be reached. When additional resources are required to complete a transaction, additional costs may be incurred. That being said, we always keep our clients up to date and if this happens to be the case with your own transaction, we will let you know in advance.
Typical property transactions also involve other costs, including disbursements and tax. Disbursements cover anything from conveyancing searches to registering a property with HM Land Registry. As your conveyancer, we will inform you of any additional costs you are likely to incur and we can even manage the payment process on your behalf.
Conveyancing FAQs
How does the conveyancing process work in Didcot?
The conveyancing process is generally made up of the following three stages:
- Offer and acceptance
- Exchange of contracts
- Completion
The acceptance of an offer is usually what kick starts the process. When a seller agrees to sell their property for a price offered by a buyer, both parties then instruct solicitors to begin organising the transfer of ownership.
Together with their solicitor, the buyer will arrange a number of checks on the property, to assess the value of the property and to look for any risks that could hinder the value or the purchase as a whole. The checks that are typically carried out 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 checks have been completed and the findings assessed, both parties are free to proceed so long as they are happy to. Once both parties sign and exchange contracts, the sale and purchase becomes official from a legal standpoint.
The conveyancing process reaches an end when completion occurs. This is when a transfer deed is sent to HM Land Registry and the seller leaves the property for the new owner to enjoy.
How long does conveyancing take in Didcot?
There is no set time frame for the conveyancing process, and that’s because every transaction is different and some take longer than others. In our years of working as residential property solicitors, we’ve managed a great deal of transactions, some that have taken no time at all and others that have been delayed for various reasons.
Our experience tells us that the average transaction takes 13 weeks to complete, from the time at which solicitors are instructed, but this isn’t a set guarantee. As your solicitors, we promise to keep you up to date with the process and will always inform you of any delays.
What searches are involved in conveyancing in Didcot?
When buying a property in Didcot, your property solicitor will be required to arrange a number of local searches to ensure all issues are addressed ahead of completion. These conveyancing searches include:
- 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 matters such as water and drainage access
In some cases, additional checks are required. Should your own transaction require additional checks and searches, we will be sure to let you know.
