Conveyancing FAQs
How does the conveyancing process work in Bordon?
During the conveyancing process, there are three significant steps to be aware of. These stages of the process are:
- Offer and acceptance
- Exchange of contracts
- Completion
The buyer and seller enter into a verbal agreement when an offer is accepted, but this is not legally binding, meaning either can opt out during this stage for any reason.
The next stage includes important property checks. These often 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)
Should the buyer need it, during this stage, they can apply for a mortgage.
If the checks have come back clear and both parties are happy to continue with the property transaction, the contracts can be signed and exchanged, making the transaction legally binding. Financial penalties can be incurred if either party retracts from the sale.
Completion is when the transaction is considered official. At this point, the transfer deed will be registered with HM Land Registry, and the seller will be required to vacate the property ready for the buyer to move in.
How long does conveyancing take in Bordon?
Each property transaction is different, with its own set of challenges, meaning it’s not possible to provide an accurate time frame for completion. Despite this, most straightforward transactions take, on average, between 12 to 14 weeks to complete.
Unfortunately, delays can happen at any point. Should this apply to your transaction, our solicitors will keep you informed.
What searches are involved in conveyancing in Bordon?
To make sure there are no issues with the property that needs fixing immediately, your conveyancer will be responsible for carrying out a number of searches on the property.
The three main searches are:
- 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
Depending on where the property is located and the type, there may be a requirement for further checks. If this applies, your conveyancing solicitor will inform you.
