Our conveyancing fees – how much does our conveyancing cost in Laindon?
For the conveyancing work we offer in Laindon we have a range of flexible fees. For simpler cases, we tend to provide fixed fees, which means the buyer will have an exact idea of what costs they will be paying.
Sometimes additional costs are necessary for the transaction. These are known as disbursements, which in the conveyancing process could be the registration of the property at HM Land Registry or other conveyancing searches. If this is the case, your solicitor will explain the reasoning.
In certain circumstances, a property transaction can be affected by tax, such as Stamp Duty Land Tax or Capital Gains Tax. If this applies to your situation, your conveyancing lawyer will assist in the calculation of what is owed and help file the return with HMRC.
Conveyancing FAQs
How does the conveyancing process work in Laindon?
There are three main stages to the conveyancing process, these are:
- Offer and acceptance
- Exchange of contract
- Completion
Upon acceptance of an offer, the parties involved agree to enter a contract. At the current stage, the contract is not yet legally binding because it has not been signed and exchanged. This means that either party could retract without facing any penalties.
The next step of the process is for the conveyancing solicitor and the buyer to carry out several checks on the property and surrounding area. Some of the checks could include:
- Reviewing information regarding the property provided by the seller
- Making further enquiries regarding the property
- Carrying out conveyancing property searches
- Carrying out an independent survey (done by the buyer)
The property buyer may choose to apply for their mortgage at this time.
Once all the checks are complete and the buyer is happy to pursue forward, the contract can be signed and exchanged. This means it is legally binding, and penalties will be issued if either party retracts from the sale.
When the transaction is official, the property transaction is complete. 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 Laindon?
Each property will vary in time frame, and different factors will affect the time it takes to reach completion. If it is a straightforward property transaction, then the likely time it will take is between 12 and 14 weeks. Anything more complex could take considerably longer to process.
Should there be a delay with completion, your solicitor will keep you informed and advise you on the next steps.
What searches are involved in conveyancing in Laindon?
When purchasing a home, there are some main searches and checks that need to be carried out to see the safety of the property. These will include:
