Conveyancing FAQs
How does the conveyancing process work in Kidlington?
The conveyancing process can be split into the following stages:
- Offer and acceptance
- Exchange of contracts
- Completion
When the offer is made, and the buyer and seller both agree, it’s important to note that the contract is not yet legally binding. This only happens after both contracts are signed and exchanged.
Following an offer, the buyer will require the time to run a variety of property checks to ensure everything is as it was advertised. These 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)
If needed, this is the stage in which the buyer will apply for a mortgage.
When all necessary property checks have been completed, if both parties are still satisfied, contracts will be exchanged. When everything is signed, the deal becomes legally binding and no party can pull out without financial consequences.
The final stage is to submit a transfer deal to HM Land Registry. This makes the transfer official and brings the property transaction to completion.
How long does conveyancing take in Kidlington?
Because of the unique nature of each property transaction, it can be difficult to estimate how long the conveyancing progress will take. Generally, a straightforward case will take between 12-14 weeks from the date the offer was accepted, but this is subject to change.
Many delays are unavoidable, but in the event that your conveyancing transaction will take longer than expected, your solicitor will let you know.
What searches are involved in conveyancing in Kidlington?
A number of property conveyancing searches are needed if you choose to buy a property in Kidlington. This is to ensure you are aware of any problems or concerns regarding the property ahead of time.
There are three key types of conveyancing searches:
- 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 more information is needed, your solicitor may recommend additional searches.
