Why instruct our online conveyancers instead of a conveyancer in Redhill?
There are various reasons why our clients choose to instruct our online conveyancers over other firms, including:
- We have an in-depth knowledge of the national property market and of the local Redhill property market. This knowledge better equips us to handle various property transactions.
- Our online systems have been developed with sensitive communication in mind. It is of paramount importance to us that we keep your legal documents and sensitive information safe and secure online. We put the necessary steps in place to ensure this.
- We can get your conveyancing done quickly and efficiently. With our remote, online service, we can cut out some of the steps required with traditional conveyancing, which cuts down the time it takes for us to process your transaction.
- Online conveyancing tends to be more cost-effective. With fewer steps or resources required, we are able to reduce the charges for our clients.
- We regularly work on transactions for clients locally and nationally, even for clients who are on the other side of the world. Thanks to video conferencing tools, we can easily keep in touch with clients from far and wide.
- Our obligations remain the same for both our online and traditional clients and we are fully insured to carry out our service both ways.
Our conveyancing fees – how much does our conveyancing cost in Redhill?
We have a fixed fee for the more straightforward transactions that we work on. When we are approached with a transaction that requires additional time or resources, we will be upfront and honest about additional charges associated with this work.
Disbursements are another type of cost associated with conveyancing, which cover conveyancing searches and registering a property with HM Land Registry.
You may also be required to pay tax on your property transaction, such as Stamp Duty Land Tax or Capital Gains Tax. If you are required to pay tax for your property transaction, we will inform you ahead of time and we will calculate the amount owed before filing a return with HMRC on your behalf.
Conveyancing FAQs
How does the conveyancing process work in Redhill?
The three main stages of the conveyancing process are:
- Offer and acceptance
- Exchange of contracts
- Completion
When someone searching for a property to purchase finds one that they are interested in, they will make an initial offer to the seller. After some negotiation, an offer may be accepted, at which point the two parties enter an agreement. The agreement is not legally binding at this stage.
Once an offer is accepted, both parties are required to instruct a solicitor of their choosing. The buyer, along with their solicitor, will carry out a number of checks on the property, including:
- 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)
These checks will look for any issues or risks associated with the transaction, ahead of the two parties entering a legally binding agreement. This happens at the point at which contracts are exchanged and if either party wishes to pull out, they will receive a financial penalty.
Completion of the property transaction takes place after contracts are exchanged and once both parties are in a position to carry out the property transfer. At this point, the seller will be required to vacate the property and a transfer deed is submitted to HM Land Registry.
How long does conveyancing take in Redhill?
Standard conveyancing transactions take between 12 and 14 weeks, on average. However, delays can and do happen, which we here at Bird & Co Solicitors try our very best to minimise. If delays are unavoidable, we will let you know in plenty of time, as well as what we are doing to minimise the delay and any issues that may come with it.
What searches are involved in conveyancing in Redhill?
When buying a property in Redhill, your chosen conveyancer will be required to carry out a variety of searches during the property transaction. These searches will look for any potential issues or risks associated with the property that need to be addressed ahead of exchange.
The main conveyancing searches are:
- 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
When additional checks are required as part of your property transaction, we will let you know ahead of time.
