Conveyancing FAQs
How does the conveyancing process work in Chandler’s Ford?
In the conveyancing process, there are three main steps, which are:
- Offer and acceptance
- Exchange of contracts
- Completion
When a buyer submits an offer and the seller accepts, they enter into a verbal contract. However, this is not yet legally binding. If the buyer or seller wishes to retract their offer, there are no financial repercussions.
Part of the process includes carrying out various property checks. 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)
Should the buyer need a mortgage, they can apply at this point.
If everything checks out and both parties are satisfied to move forward with the transaction, the contracts can be exchanged. When contracts are exchanged, this makes the transaction legally binding and should either pull out of the purchase, they will be liable to face a financial penalty.
When the transaction becomes official, this is known as completion. Completion is where the transfer deed will be submitted to HM Land Registry, and the buyer can move into their new property.
How long does conveyancing take in Chandler’s Ford?
Each conveyancing process is completely unique, meaning there are different circumstances and requirements which could result in the process taking significantly longer than the average time frame. Generally, the usual period is between 12 to 14 weeks from offer acceptance to completion.
Delays in property transactions are sometimes out of our control, but should this impact your transaction, our solicitors will keep you in the loop.
What searches are involved in conveyancing in Chandler’s Ford?
Searches are conducted on properties to ensure that there are no immediate issues which need addressing.
There are three main conveyancing searches, and these 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
