Why instruct our online conveyancers instead of a conveyancer in Grove?
Choosing to instruct our online conveyancers can be beneficial in a number of different ways, for example:
- With in-depth knowledge of the national property market and experience in the local area, our conveyancing solicitors have an advantage over many other firms.
- Our online systems have been developed with sensitive communication in mind. It’s crucial that a client’s data and legal documents are kept safe. Our online services are protected by encrypted emails and frequently updated malware protection software, so our clients know their property transaction is protected.
- We can get your conveyancing done quickly and efficiently. With instant messages and no travel times, having a remote conveyancing process can be a quicker way to carry out your property transaction.
- Online conveyancing tends to be more cost-effective. Traditional conveyancing comes with a variety of associated costs. When completing your property transaction through online services, those costs can be avoided.
- Online conveyancing can be utilised by local clients and even for clients who are on the other side of the world. Bird & Co uses regular video conferences to keep up to date with our clients.
- Whether our clients choose online services or to meet in person, our legal obligations remain the same. Additionally, online conveyancing services will follow the same process either way, and we are fully insured.
Our conveyancing fees – how much does our conveyancing cost in Grove?
We have a wide variety of fees available for conveyancing services in Grove. One of the most common is the fixed fee rate. This gives you a clear idea of what you will be paying from the very start. Your solicitor will also be able to let you know if any additional charges need to be added throughout the conveyancing process and why.
You may also be charged for disbursements. These are costs that are regularly associated with the conveyancing process and include things like registering a property with HM Land Registry.
Throughout the conveyancing process, your solicitor can help you to calculate things like tax, as well as file the tax returns with the HMRC.
Conveyancing FAQs
How does the conveyancing process work in Grove?
The conveyancing process includes three key stages:
- Offer and acceptance
- Exchange of contracts
- Completion
When the buyer and seller enter a contract, it’s still possible for either party to pull out of the deal, as before being signed and exchanged, the contract is not legally binding.
A variety of checks will be carried out on the property to identify any problems moving forward. These property checks may 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)
At this stage, the buyer may choose to apply for a mortgage.
If both parties are still on board after the property checks, they will sign and exchange the contract. This will make it legally binding and prevent either party from backing out of the transaction without a financial penalty.
To complete the transaction, a transfer deed is submitted to the HM Land Registry, and the seller is now required to vacate the property.
How long does conveyancing take in Grove?
From the date the initial offer is accepted, the conveyancing process will take roughly 12-14 weeks to complete. However, each situation is unique and will come with its own complications, so it’s impossible to accurately say how long this process will take.
Delays can be unavoidable, but your solicitor will know how to navigate these situations and will always keep you up to date.
What searches are involved in conveyancing in Grove?
The decision to buy a property is a big one, which is why it’s important to carry out the relevant tests in order to ensure that you don’t run into any costly issues further down the road.
You should consider running the following three tests on the property:
- 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
If your solicitor believes you will benefit from further tests, they will let you know.
