Conveyancing FAQs
How does the conveyancing process work in New Milton?
There are three stages to the conveyancing process you should be aware of. These are:
- Offer and acceptance
- Exchange of contracts
- Completion
Once an offer is accepted, the buyer and seller agree to enter into a contract. Note that, until this contract has been formally signed and exchanged, the transaction is not considered legally binding.
The buyer, with the assistance of their conveyancer, will then be responsible for completing various checks on the property. 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)
The buyer will also need to apply for a mortgage at this stage if necessary.
Once both parties are ready to proceed, the parties will sign and exchange contracts. Once this step is completed, the transaction is legally binding and neither party can pull out without receiving a penalty.
Upon completion, the transaction is considered official. A transfer deed is provided to HM Land Registry, at which point the seller must sell the property.
How long does conveyancing take in New Milton?
Conveyancing transactions will vary in time-frame, depending on a number of factors. On average, a simple case will take around 12-14 weeks to reach completion.
If your transaction is delayed for any reason, your conveyancing solicitor will keep you informed and talk you through the options available to you.
What searches are involved in conveyancing in New Milton?
If you are buying a residential property in New Milton, your conveyancing solicitor will carry out various checks to ensure there are no issues which need to be addressed.
Conveyancing searches may 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
Where further checks are necessary, your solicitor will discuss these with you.
