Conveyancing FAQs
How does the conveyancing process work in Meldreth?
There are three main stages to the conveyancing process that you need to be aware of. These are:
- Offer and acceptance
- Exchange of contracts
- Completion
Once an offer is accepted on a property, the parties involved intend to enter a legal contract. At this moment, it is only a verbal agreement, and it is possible for either the buyer or seller to pull out of the transaction, including gazumping, where the seller accepts a higher offer even after already accepting a previous one.
Once the offer is accepted, the conveyancing solicitor will carry out several checks on the property, such as:
- 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)
If a mortgage is required, the buyer can obtain it at this point.
When the buyer is happy with the checks, they can exchange and sign the contract and pay the deposit. If either party attempts to pull out at this stage, they may face a penalty due to it now being legally binding.
Property completion is when the sale and purchase are official. This could be the same day as the contract exchange or an alternative date. The transfer deed will be submitted to HMLR, and the seller is required to vacate the property.
How long does conveyancing take in Meldreth?
The conveyancing process can completely vary in time depending on various factors. A process without complications normally takes between 12 to 14 weeks to complete. There may be times where delays do occur, if this applies to your situation, your conveyancer will keep you informed.
What searches are involved in conveyancing in Meldreth?
To make sure there are not any immediate issues that need sorting, your conveyancer will carry out searches and checks on the property. There are three main types of 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
Depending on where your property is located, further checks may be required. Your solicitor will advise you if this is necessary.
