Conveyancing FAQs
How does the conveyancing process work in Spalding?
There are three main stages to buying or selling a home:
- Offer and acceptance
- Exchange of contracts
- Completion
When an offer is accepted on a home, the buyer and seller both agree to enter into a contract. At this stage, the transaction is not legally binding, and it is still possible for either party to pull out.
If the buyer’s offer is accepted, then they should seek out all the information they need about the property, with the assistance of their conveyancing solicitor. The information could 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)
The buyer will also need to apply for a mortgage at this stage.
If the buyer approves of the checks, they are able to exchange contracts with the seller and pay the deposit. The transaction then becomes legally binding, which means it is not possible for either party to pull out without incurring a penalty – unless they can provide a reasonable explanation.
Completion is when the sale and purchase is deemed to be official. A transfer deed will be submitted to HM Land Registry and the seller will be required to leave the property on the completion date.
How long does conveyancing take in Spalding?
The time it takes to complete any conveyancing transaction is dependent on individual circumstances but, if there are no complications, the process tends to take around 12-14 weeks. This is from the date the offer is accepted and conveyancing solicitors are instructed.
Unfortunately, not every transaction is straightforward, and issues can arise which will delay the entire process. If this is likely to be the case, your solicitor will work alongside you to provide tailored advice about how long your transaction is likely to take.
What searches are involved in conveyancing in Spalding?
If you are buying a home, your conveyancer will undertake enquiries known as conveyancing checks. These are done to assess whether there are any immediate problems with the property that need to be addressed. There are three main types of 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
Your conveyancing solicitor will inform you if any further checks are required.
