Conveyancing FAQs

How does the conveyancing process work in Chertsey?

The conveyancing process can be split into the following three stages:

  • Offer and acceptance
  • Exchange of contracts
  • Completion

Once an offer has been made and accepted, the buyer and seller enter into a contract. This is not legally binding and as such either party may choose to back out of the deal without financial repercussions.

Before the contract becomes binding, the buyer will carry out a number of property checks with the conveyancer. This is to ensure that there are no big issues that may need to be dealt with before purchasing the property. 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)

After the necessary property searches have been completed, if both parties are still happy with the deal, contracts will be signed and exchanged. This makes the contract legally binding.

Finally, the conveyancer will need to submit a transfer deal to HM Land Registry. This is called completion and is the moment the transaction becomes official.

How long does conveyancing take in Chertsey?

It can be difficult to estimate how long the conveyancing process will take due to the unique circumstances surrounding each property transaction. Generally, a basic conveyancing matter will take between 12-14 weeks from the date the offer was accepted.

However, the complexity of the case and unavoidable delays can lead to this process taking a lot longer to reach completion. Your solicitor will be on hand to ensure you are up to date with the progression of your property transaction.

What searches are involved in conveyancing in Chertsey?

When buying a property in Chertsey, a number of property conveyancing searches are required. This is to ensure you are aware of any issues related to 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, 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 searches are needed, your solicitors will advise you.
