Conveyancing FAQs
How does the conveyancing process work in Ringwood?
During the process route, there are three main steps. These include:
- Offer and acceptance
- Exchange of contracts
- Completion
When an offer is submitted, and the seller accepts, they enter into a verbal agreement which is not legally binding. At this point, either party can pull out of the offer with no financial penalty should they wish to.
The next stage of the process is to carry out a number of property checks. These 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 to fund the purchase, they can apply at this stage.
Once all the property checks are done and both parties are happy with everything, the contracts will be exchanged. This makes the transaction legally binding, and neither can retract their offer.
Once the transaction is official, this is completion. When this happens, the transfer deed is submitted to HM Land Registry, and the seller must vacate.
How long does conveyancing take in Ringwood?
The conveyancing process can be challenging, and each case is unique with dissimilar circumstances, meaning the time frame can vary for each. On average, the usual conveyancing period takes between 12 and 14 weeks.
Delays aren’t always possible to avoid, and should they apply to your situation, our conveyancing solicitors will keep you informed.
What searches are involved in conveyancing in Ringwood?
Conveyancers carry out searches on properties to ensure there are no problems which need addressing.
During the conveyancing process, there are three main conveyancing searches. These searches 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
Depending on the type of property and the circumstances, additional checks may be necessary. Should this apply to your case, our solicitors will keep you up-to-date.
