Conveyancing FAQs
How does the conveyancing process work in Verwood?
The conveyancing process consists of three main steps. These are:
- Offer and acceptance
- Exchange of contracts
- Completion
Once an offer is prepared and accepted, the buyer and seller will proceed to enter into a legal contract. Note that there is no legal obligation until the contract has been exchanged and duly signed by both parties.
As part of the process, the buyer and their solicitor will conduct various property checks. Some of the checks that may be 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 (arranged by the buyer)
The buyer may seek to apply for a mortgage at this stage, as required.
Once all property checks have been concluded and both parties have reached an agreement to proceed, the signing and exchange of contracts will be necessary. At this stage, the deal becomes legally binding, and withdrawing from the agreement may result in financial penalties.
The deal becomes final upon completion. A transfer deed is sent to HM Land Registry and the seller must then vacate the property.
How long does conveyancing take in Verwood?
Predicting exactly how long it will take to finalise a conveyancing transaction is not always possible, given that each case presents its own challenges. However, a relatively straightforward conveyancing task will generally take 12-14 weeks, from beginning to end, from the point of the offer being accepted and the solicitors appointed.
Delays may become unavoidable, depending on the circumstances. If it is the case that your conveyancing transaction will take longer to finalise, your solicitor will keep you informed.
What searches are involved in conveyancing in Verwood?
When buying a property in Verwood, your conveyancer will need to perform a number of checks to ensure there are no outstanding issues.
There are broadly three main categories of conveyancing search. These are:
- Local authority checks – to check the surrounding area for planning, pollution, highways 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
Your solicitor will certainly inform you if further checks are required.
Is it better to use a conveyancing solicitor or a conveyancer for property in Verwood?
The decision whether to opt for a licensed conveyancer or a conveyancing solicitors’ firm may come down to your personal choice and financial resources. There are, however, certain differences between the two.
Both conveyancers and conveyancing solicitors will have competence in guiding clients through property transactions. However, conveyancing solicitors may be qualified and experienced when it comes to handling a wider range of legal matters, which can be an advantage in circumstances in which a property transaction is complicated, or if a dispute arises at some stage in the process.
What documents does a property solicitor need for conveyancing in Verwood?
There are a number of documents that will be required during the residential conveyancing process. These will depend on whether buying or selling.
If you are purchasing a property in Verwood, required documents may include:
- Identification (e.g. passport or driving licence)
- Proof of address
- Proof of funds (such as bank statements)
- The official offer of mortgage
When selling a property, documents may include:
- Proof of ownership
- Seller’s Property Information Form
- Certificates, guarantees and planning permission documentation
