Conveyancing FAQs
How does the conveyancing process work in Purfleet-on-Thames?
The three key points in any property sale or purchase are as follows:
- Offer and acceptance
- Exchange of contracts
- Completion
Two parties enter a verbal agreement when the seller of the property accepts an offer made by a buyer. Solicitors are then instructed to manage the process from the point onwards.
The buyer’s appointed solicitors will work on a number of checks on the property to assess its current condition and to ensure it is worth the amount the buyer is offering to the seller. These checks typically cover:
- 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 the checks come back without any issues, the two parties can each sign and exchange contracts, where the agreement becomes legally binding and with financial penalties in place, should either party pull out of the agreement.
The final stage in the process is completion, which occurs as soon as all documentation has been taken care of and when the two parties are in a position to finalise the agreement. At this point, the seller will vacate the property, and the buyer’s solicitor will organise a transfer deed to be sent to HM Land Registry. The property is now their own.
How long does conveyancing take in Purfleet-on-Thames?
We have many clients ask us how long we think their property transaction will take to complete, and, unfortunately, we can only provide estimates so as to not upset anyone if the transaction takes longer to process.
There are so many influencing factors that can lengthen the time it takes to complete, many of which are outside a conveyancer’s control. What we can say is that the most standard of transactions usually takes around 13 weeks to complete.
What searches are involved in conveyancing in Purfleet-on-Thames?
Not only will your conveyancer carry out a number of searches on the property itself, but they will also research the local area and land to uncover any potential risks in that respect. These searches typically include:
- 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
In some cases, further checks are required, and if this happens to be the case with your own transaction, your conveyancer will let you know.
