Conveyancing FAQs
How does the conveyancing process work in Romsey?
There are three stages to the conveyancing process you should be aware of. These are:
- Offer and acceptance
- Exchange of contracts
- Completion
If a seller accepts a buyer’s offer, the two parties will agree to enter into a contract. It is important to point out that this is still an agreement at this stage. Nothing is legally binding until the contract is signed and exchanged.
The buyer and their conveyancer will then have the opportunity to conduct various searches on the property to make sure that all is in order. Checks usually 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 apply for a mortgage at this stage if necessary.
Once both parties are ready to proceed, they will proceed to sign and exchange contracts. Once this step is complete, the transaction is considered legally binding and neither party can pull out without incurring a penalty.
On completion, the transaction is deemed official, a transfer deed is submitted to HM Land Registry and the seller is required to vacate the property, ready for the buyer.
How long does conveyancing take in Romsey?
The time it takes to complete a conveyancing transaction will vary. However, you can expect a standard transaction to take around 12-14 weeks to reach completion.
If your transaction is delayed for any reason, your conveyancing solicitor will keep you informed and discuss the options at your disposal.
What searches are involved in conveyancing in Romsey?
If you are buying a home in Romsey, you conveyancer will conduct a number of checks to make sure everything is in order.
Conveyancing searches could 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.
