Conveyancing FAQs
How does the conveyancing process work in Leighton Buzzard?
The conveyancing process consists of three stages:
- Offer and acceptance
- Exchange of contracts
- Completion
When an offer is accepted on a property, the buyer and the seller are agreeing to enter into a contract. However, nothing will be legally binding at this stage until the contract is signed and exchanged by both parties.
The buyer will then need to conduct various checks on the property with the help of their solicitor. Typical checks might 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)
Where a mortgage is needed, the buyer will apply for it at this stage.
The transaction becomes legally binding once contracts have been signed and exchanged by both parties. This will happen subject to the satisfactory completion of all the necessary property checks. At this stage, neither party will be able to pull out of the process without incurring a financial penalty.
Completion happens when the deal is done and the sale or purchase officially completes, making the home the legal property of the new owner. Outstanding taxes, duties, proceeds and fees will be settled and a transfer deed will be submitted to HM Land Registry. The seller will be required to vacate the property and hand over keys so the buyer can move in.
How long does conveyancing take in Leighton Buzzard?
You can expect a standard conveyancing matter to take somewhere between 12-14 weeks following an accepted offer and instruction of solicitors. However, since each conveyancing transaction is uniquely different with its own particular set of circumstances or issues attached, it is difficult to give a precise estimation or exact timescale to completion.
When dealing with conveyancing in Leighton Buzzard, our property solicitors will always keep you informed and updated in the event of unavoidable delays that might impact on your transaction, so it takes a little longer to complete.

- Water and drainage searches – to check matters such as water and drainage access
