Conveyancing FAQs
How does the conveyancing process work in Waterlooville?
The conveyancing process will include three key steps, these are:
- Offer and acceptance
- Exchange of contracts
- Completion
A buyer and seller will enter into a verbal contract when an offer for the property is accepted. This contract is not considered legally binding.
To ensure that the property is as advertised and worth the value being paid, it is the buyer’s and their solicitor’s responsibility to carry out thorough property checks. For example:
- 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)
At this point, the buyer may choose to apply for a mortgage.
Once the buyer and their solicitor have completed the necessary checks, if both parties are on board, the contracts can be signed and exchanged. This makes the transaction legally binding, and a transfer deed will be submitted to the HM Land Registry.
If either party chooses to pull out of the transaction once the contracts have been signed and exchanged, they will face a financial penalty.
How long does conveyancing take in Waterlooville?
The unique circumstances each client is in means that it is difficult to accurately predict how long the conveyancing process may take, as it can differ greatly between clients.
However, it’s important to note that generally, the conveyancing process can take around 12-14 weeks. Although unavoidable delays and other difficulties often found in more complex conveyancing matters can mean that this process could take much longer to complete.
What searches are involved in conveyancing in Waterlooville?
Property searches are an important and time-consuming part of the conveyancing process. They allow a buyer to ensure that the property they are purchasing does not have any serious errors that could affect the value or appeal of the property.
There are three key types of property searches including:
- 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
In the event that your solicitor feels that more searches may be necessary, they will let you know.
