Conveyancing FAQs
How does the conveyancing process work in Louth?
There are three main stages to buying or selling a home:
- Offer and acceptance
- Exchange of contracts
- Completion
When an offer is accepted on a home, the buyer and seller agree to enter into a contract. At this stage, the transaction is not legally binding. This means that either party can pull out without receiving a penalty.
The buyer should then gather as much information as they can about the property. The information they might seek out could 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)
A mortgage application will also need to be made at this stage (if necessary).
If the buyer is happy with the checks that have been carried out, they can exchange contracts with the seller. The transaction will now be legally binding, which means that neither party can pull out without facing a penalty – unless they are able to provide a good excuse for doing so.
Following this, completion is when the transaction is deemed to be official. A transfer deed will be submitted to HM Land Registry and the seller will be required to leave the property.
How long does conveyancing take in Louth?
Every conveyancing transaction is different, and the time it takes to reach completion will vary depending on a number of different factors. That being said, under normal circumstances, a standard conveyancing transaction tends to take around 12-14 weeks to complete from the date the offer is accepted, and conveyancing solicitors are instructed.
Unfortunately, not every transaction is straightforward, and delays are common. If your transaction is likely to encounter delays, your conveyancing solicitor will advise you on your potential options.
What searches are involved in conveyancing in Louth?
Your conveyancer will carry out a number of checks when you are buying a home, called conveyancing searches. They are carried out to assess whether there are any problems with the property that need to be addressed.
There are three main types of checks:
- 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
Further checks may be required, depending on the type of property and where it is situated If this is the case, your conveyancing solicitor will keep you informed.
