Conveyancing FAQs
How does the conveyancing process work in Earlswood?
If you’re buying or selling a property, your conveyancing process will be split into three stages:
- Offer and acceptance
- Exchange of contracts
- Completion
A seller may be approached by numerous buyers and offers before they find one they are happy to accept. At this point, the buyer and seller enter a verbal agreement with one another and should look to appoint a solicitor of their choosing.
The buyer’s chosen solicitor will organise various checks to be made throughout the property. These checks often involve:
- 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)
The findings from these checks will be reviewed, and an overview will be provided to the buyer. If all is well and both parties are happy to proceed, they can progress to the exchange of contracts. This is when the agreement becomes legally binding and financial penalties are put in place for any party that chooses to back out.
After all additional checks have been carried out, and when both parties are in a position to move forward with the transaction, completion can take place. This makes the agreement official, and the buyer becomes the new owner of the property.
How long does conveyancing take in Earlswood?
There is no guarantee of how long a property transaction will take to complete. Each comes with its own set of circumstances, and there are many components that can impact the time it takes to complete. The most standard of property transactions typically takes a few months to complete, though some transactions are much shorter and others much longer.
We will be happy to discuss your transaction with you, to be able to give a much more educated estimate as to how long we expect the conveyancing process to take for you.
What searches are involved in conveyancing in Earlswood?
Alongside property checks, your solicitor will also need to organise a number of local areas checks too. These searches often 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
