Conveyancing FAQs
How does the conveyancing process work in Camberley?
There are key three stages which include the following:
- Offer and acceptance
- Exchange of contracts
- Completion
When an offer is accepted, the buyer and seller make an agreement to enter into a contract. Only when the contract is signed is the offer considered legally binding.
At this stage, the buyer will complete a series of property checks with their solicitor. These checks might 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 point, the buyer will also apply for a mortgage if necessary.
Once the property checks are finished, and both parties are happy to go ahead they will sign and exchange contracts. At this point the transaction is considered legally binding, and neither party can pull out without being charged a fee.
At the completion stage the transaction is considered official. A transfer deed will be sent to HM Land Registry, and the seller must leave the property.
How long does conveyancing take in Camberley?
Every conveyancing transaction is different, meaning it is not always possible to say how long it may take to reach the completion stage.
Straightforward conveyancing work should take around 12-14 weeks from when an offer is accepted. Of course, delays are unavoidable at times. Rest assured, if your conveyancing transaction is likely to take longer to complete, your solicitor will keep you up to date.
What searches are involved in conveyancing in Camberley?
If you are purchasing a property in Camberley, your conveyancer must conduct a series of checks to make sure there aren’t any problems that must be addressed.
The three types of 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
Where further checks are needed, your solicitor will inform you of this.
